researchers to help with the project. They have been great partners and provided most of the funding. The project area extends 15 miles and includes 24 major improvements to crossing structures. This project is internationally recognized. Students are getting hands-on field skills and data collection, doing data analysis, participating in conferences, and developing undergraduate and graduate research projects. Students have been tracking the coastal tailed frog, fish movements within constructed stream channels, and monitoring small and large mammal movement across the bridges. With connections students have made during this project, several have moved on to work for the Yakama Nation Fisheries, the Colville Tribe Fisheries, Conservation Northwest, and INTERA Incorporated to name a few. It has been a great opportunity for our students.
