卑詩Prince George的Forests for the World公園在Shane Lake西北岸建成一座八米長步橋，讓行人跨過蠑螈、蟾蜍和青蛙幼體的遷徙通道。工程11月12日完成，目的是減少每年7至8月動物從湖邊進入樹林時被踩踏。
當地林業工作者Ashley Sutherland於2022年注意到問題後聯繫市府，先推動設置提醒牌，之後與市府、Nahanni Construction及其他夥伴合作建橋。她稱2025年環湖主要步道觀察到的死亡率最高達12.8%，但並非所有死亡都是踩踏造成。
報道未取得總工程造價。承建方稱市府承擔約三成，其餘來自捐助；市府公園部門表示正在計劃約100米外的第二座橋。新設施可降低一種風險，但不能據此斷言當地兩棲動物數量已經恢復。
