A joint Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) and Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) initiative to install wildlife safety crossings in northeastern Nevada has received the Federal Highway Administration 2019 Environmental Excellence Award. The award recognizes nine crossings on I-80 between Wells and Wendover and US-93 between Wells and Jackpot.
In this week's Nevada Wild, Ashley Sanchez and Aaron Keller sit down
with NDOT Wildlife Biologist Nova Simpson and NDOW Wildlife Staff Specialist Mike Cox to talk about the award, the history of the project, how the crossings benefit drivers and wildlife, and how they hope to see more projects like this in the future.
Nevada Wild is available for download on SoundCloud and iTunes. It also airs on 99.1 FM Talk at 10 a.m. every Sunday morning in Northern Nevada and live online. Southern Nevada listeners can hear Nevada Wild on the Highway Vibe at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings.
