Tech Road Kill Project
Note: You can help us learn more about how humans impact wildlife. Pick a specific road that you can monitor once a week for several weeks. Gather as much information as you can. If you do not see any dead animals, indicate this on your data sheet. Do not handle dead wildlife. Do not count an animal more than once. After you complete this sheet, return it to your teacher, and/or send a copy to Jeff Kirwan, Extension Specialist, Va. Tech College of Natural Resources, Mail Code 0324, Blacksburg, VA, 24061.
