LIVE @ 1pm PT // Film Screening and Live Q&A: (Re)Connecting Wild: Restoring Safe Passage 

(Re)Connecting Wild tells the remarkable story of the decade-long effort by the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and its partners to improve human safety by re-connecting an historic mule deer migration that crosses over both US-93 and I-80 in rural Elko County, Nevada. Witness the wildlife crossing structures along I-80 from construction to the restoration of safe passage for migratory mule deer to more than 1.5 million acres of summer and winter habitat. Join for a film screening and live Q&A with project partners.
