Think Globally, Act Locally Winter Lecture with The Center for Large Landscape Conservation

Beginning in May of 2025, the Wood River Land Trust and the Center for Large Landscape Conservation began a yearlong Wildlife-Vehicle Collision Assessment. This assessment undertook a spatial analysis that identified sections of highest priority in Blaine County, and developed a set of recommendations for each prioritized section. Now, the Center for Large Landscape Conservation will present their preliminary findings of the Wildlife Vehicle Assessment and underscore the importance of habitat connectivity in our backyards.

The Center for Large Landscape Conservation's work advances ecological connectivity for climate resilience through science, policy, practice, and collaboration. Their work informs data driven connectivity policy on state, national, and international levels. This evening's lecture is presented by Road Ecologists Elizabeth Fairbank and Kylie Paul, and Conservation Science Specialist Jamie Faselt. Elizabeth holds an M.S. in Environmental Studies from the University of Montana, and since graduating has held positions with the Western Transportation Institute and the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative. Kylie brings over 15 years of conservation experience to the Center and has worked on road ecology and habitat connectivity since 2005. Jamie provides technical and logistical support for the Center's projects, and brings a unique focus on overcoming social, political, and biophysical barriers to connectivity.
