Photos from The Crossing event in Asheville, NC

What an amazing night it was in Asheville! The Crossing was a hit, and a sold out event showing my films along with other local films, music and culture. I was proud to represent the home team in testifying about the success of wildlife crossings and the positive impact they have on the ecology on the highways where they are implemented.

And here’s some good news: thanks to the efforts of the Safe Passages Fund Coalition, the North Carolina legislature has allocated $2 million toward construction of wildlife crossings in the Great Smoky Mountains! Read more here.

Very grateful for the hospitality from Frances Figart, Jeff Hunter, Ben Prater, and Elly Wells.
