Speaker: Liz Hillard, Wildlands Network’s senior wildlife biologist for the Appalachian region
This presentation will highlight the importance of habitat connectivity in Western North Carolina/the Southern Appalachians, highlighting local efforts to provide wildlife safe passage across our roadways, and discuss the challenges (and opportunities) in building back better, with wildlife in mind, after Hurricane Helene.

She engages in wildlife conservation research and efforts in WNC that improve habitat connectivity to combat the negative impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation on our region’s biodiversity.
