The process of designing corridors is frustrating, because there
are many decisions to make throughout. After spending way too
many meetings arguing over the details related to designing
corridors, and getting a few too many bruises on our foreheads
from repeatedly banging our heads against our desks, we thought
maybe we could save you some of the agony. There are many
potential ways to design wildlife corridors, ranging from a hand
drawn map, to acquiring any possible land between two blocks of
habitat, to the GIS-intensive modeling discussed throughout the
site. Neither of these techniques are necessarily better, and
all are probably optimal in some situations. If we could stress
one thing, it would be to use modeling as an aid to think about
how to best design coridors for a landscape, not as a
replacement for thinking! Don't model because you think you have
to. Don't expect to get the truth. Expect to get frustrated, and
come up with more questions than answers. Do you want to design
