Dr. Ryan Norris, professor in the Department of Integrative Biology, was cited in an opinion column on TVO.org regarding the proposed Highway 413.

The author noted that Norris escorted him and others on a tour of the Nashville Conservation Reserve, which would be impacted if the highway goes ahead. Norris and colleague Jessica Linton pointed out several forms of wildlife and flora that would be affected.

Norris is a researcher in the behaviour, conservation and evolution of migratory animals and insects.
