Course Goal: The purpose of this course was to provide a constructive forum for sharing experiences and exploring new ideas, perspectives, and concepts leading to an expansion of the knowledgebase on issues involving wildlife crossings. The Field Course drew on the vast range of expertise from biologists, engineers, planners, and others engaged in creating successful wildlife crossings. Rather than providing an introduction to wildlife crossings, this advanced-level course tackled the more complex issues that each of us faces in the planning, design, funding and monitoring of wildlife crossings.

The course location at Snoqualmie Pass – the site of a major planned transportation and wildlife crossings project on Interstate 90 – provided an exceptional opportunity to learn from a project that is currently underway. By using this project as a case study and the focus of the field trip, participants had the opportunity to experience first-hand the hurdles as well as the achievements that resulted in a comprehensive proposal to construct a suite of wildlife crossings along this stretch of interstate.
