Um, I wanted to learn more about wildlife and transportation, specifically in Vermont.

And I thought it was gonna be a one-off, um, but there was so much interest across the agency in the topic, um, and th- that we've been doing it ever since.
10:24
And, um, 20 years after the fact, in 2022, we were, um, given a Federal Highway Administration Environmental Excellence Award for the, um, training.

Chris, since you're the pioneers with creating this kind of training, over the years, have there been any particular highlighted stories that stand out to you?
