  Matters: In Wild Virginia's Habitat Connectivity Program, I advocate for key legislative actions to improve wildlife passage and enhance road infrastructure planning. This includes requiring state agencies to integrate wildlife passage considerations into all infrastructure plans, expanding the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) data collection on wildlife carcass removals to better identify collision hotspots, and establishing sustainable, long-term funding sources for wildlife road crossing projects. These efforts aim to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, protect biodiversity, and build resilient infrastructure that benefits both wildlife and human communities.

  Matters: As Wild Virginia's Conservation Director, I advocate for laws, policies, and regulatory actions to protect state waters. This includes efforts to require state agencies to fully protect water resources from pollution caused by a variety of sources, to increase funding for the state and for other parties to adequately monitor potential water quality threats and conditions in our waterways, to inform and facilitate involvement of citizens in the protection efforts, and to enforce the water protection laws and regulations.
