First I created a raster from the roads
shapefile. I then reclassified that raster as well as the elevation and
landcover rasters according to the guidelines given. Then I did the weighted
overlay giving 60 percent to landcover and 20 percent to the other two layers.
I then inverted the model by using the minus tool and subtracted it from ten. I
then created distance cost models using the two polygons given. Then using
those two layers I created my corridor file which I then resymbolized to show
only the best possible routes for the black bears to take.
One factor that I would love to be able to
add to this analysis would be if there are any wildlife crossings nearby enough
that would make it worth it to reroute the corridor. If there is that that
could drastically change the corridor in order to make sure the black bears are
protected on their path.
