Creating wildlife-specific infrastructure over or under roads is a proven solution to increase wildlife habitat connectivity and prevent wildlife vehicle mortality, but these crossings are often focused on large-bodied mammals due to driver safety concerns. However, roads can pose an even greater conservation threat to smaller and less mobile species of conservation concern, such as reptiles and amphibians. In Gorges State Park in the mountains of North Carolina, USA, from 2008-2009 three small culverts were randomly placed under a newly constructed two-lane park road in the hopes of facilitating safe passage under the roadway for timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) and eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina), both species of conservation concern in North Carolina. From June-October 2022, 13 years post implementation, Wildlands Network and the Timber Rattlesnake Conservation Alliance monitored the openings of each culvert with Reconyx Hyperfire-2 Cameras set to take 5 minute time-lapse and motion detection photos to determine structure use by wildlife. Our poster presentation will highlight the structure specifications, findings from our first year of monitoring (including successful use of the culverts by at least one timber rattlesnake and a diversity of other wildlife such as long-tailed weasels, wood rats, gray foxes, red foxes, bobcats, and multiple salamander species), and implications for encouraging the use of this type of smaller wildlife crossings when replacing or creating new road infrastructure in the Southern Appalachian Region
