Funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Federation, this episode dives into the crucial role of road-stream crossings in maintaining the health of our rivers, streams, lakes, and the communities that depend on them.
In this podcast, we explore:
-What are road stream crossings and why they’re so important.
-The current issues impacting our waterways due to outdated or poorly designed crossings.
-Innovative solutions being implemented to improve these crossings and restore natural flow.
-The positive benefits of connected streams and properly built crossings for wildlife, water quality, and local communities.
