"Every 26 seconds – or less – a driver hits an animal, making highways one of the greatest barriers to wildlife movement in the United States," reported by the non-profit ARC (Animal Road Crossings) Solutions . You can read about a local successful solution enacted on Interstate 64 at the story map HERE.

From the film's website: "This is a documentary film about building bridges, both literal and metaphorical. Cascade Crossroads chronicles the amazing story of seemingly opposite interests joining forces to restore a critical wildlife corridor while improving Washington State’s vital transportation corridor over the Cascade Mountains. Told in the varied voices of the men and women who worked across ideological, political, and geographical differences to set in motion the world’s largest wildlife project of its kind, Cascade Crossroads shows what can happen – for people and the environment – when we build bridges."

This Wild Virginia event is free, but donations are encouraged.
