The application period for the Federal Highway Administration's Wildlife Crossing Pilot Program - a program to address over $8B of economic damage a year, over a million collisions a year, and hundreds of human fatalities and thousands of serious injuries a year (and the ecological consequences and habitat connectivity that a new emphasis on wildlife more generally in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law seeks to rectify), is now open for up to $145 million in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 funding, more information of which is available at: https://lnkd.in/eEdvP37K. The design of this program is under the same 4-part architecture that underpins CFI, PROTECT, and so many other new federal funding opportunities, which lifts up needed eligibility, pairs it with catalytic funding, spreads the eligibility across transportation programs to embed it for future infrastructure bills, and then begins the generational scaffolding of a work plan beyond dollars and cents. In the case of wildlife provisions, less heralded but equally important provisions that career staff at federal agencies are entrusted to execute include Reports to Congress, studies, manuals, and additional research on wildlife-vehicle collisions, including future recommendations and best practices for preventing such collisions, a series of in-person and online workforce development and technical training courses, and standardization of wildlife collision and carcass data. There are over 100 references to wildlife in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration's leadership on habitat connectivity, as well as scores of communities and organizations across the nation that understand how productive harmony benefits triple bottom lines for all.

Who says hard work can’t have its glamorous moments? 😎 While we were out in Biggar tackling a domestic septic tank empty, we couldn’t help but notice the stunning flags and picturesque background—it was too good an opportunity to pass up for a quick photoshoot! 📸 ✅ Why Regular Septic Tank Maintenance Matters: Avoid unpleasant odors or blockages. Prevent costly repairs or replacements. Protect local ecosystems by preventing leaks. If your tank’s overdue for a check-up, let us know.
