Log Culvert Crossings are a type of wildlife crossings installed under the culvert. It was designed for small animals such as koalas, goannas, and possums. These log culvert crossings were built using logs as a bridge. It has also enough height for small animals to cross without being wet.

Culverts are typically square, rectangular, or half-circle in shape. It may be purpose-built for fauna passage or water drainage, or a combination of both. They are generally pre-cast concrete cells or arches made of steel. By definition, culverts were initially used to carry water. However, culverts are becoming popular as fauna crossings to assist our fauna species from crossing highways and roads. They are also known as underpasses.

In Australia, various fauna species have been recorded utilizing culverts for movement. Research has been undertaken into identifying the attributes of fauna culverts and how we can make them favorable to different fauna species. ‘Furniture’ has been installed in standard culverts to enhance their function as fauna passages.

Culverts or dedicated fauna tunnels are often used and broader to cater to a greater variety of fauna species. The use of ‘furniture such as rocks, logs, ropes, and ledges and appropriate planting at entrances have been shown to facilitate the movement of some species.
