Proactive survey IDs protected species on K 10 corridor
Kansas University biologist Craig Freeman says identifying rare plants and animals like Mead's milkweed and prairie mole cricket now can prevent later construction delays along the K-10 corridor between Lawrence and KS 7. The study by the Kansas Biological Survey for the Association for K-10 Corridor Development identified few rare species but highlighted habitats and potential land uses that support open space and trails. Grants from Douglas County and Kansas City Power & Light helped finance the study which aims to guide future projects with fewer conflicts.
