Hyak, Washington
The Washington DOT, I-90 Bridges Coalition, and the Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project are hosting the 2008 Wildlife Crossings Field Course at Snoqualmie Pass featuring the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East Project. The purpose of the course is to provide a constructive forum for sharing experiences and exploring new ideas, perspectives, and concepts in the planning, design and construction of wildlife crossings. The course will lead to an expansion of the knowledgebase on issues involving wildlife crossings while encouraging an interdisciplinary dialogue. Rather than providing an introduction to wildlife crossings, this advanced-level course seeks to tackle the more complex issues that transportation professionals face in the field of Road Ecology.
Registration will begin January 2008.
