@thatsMohrlikeit Wildlife crossings, DOT investment into safe infrastructure for wildlife, and the work that the @Largelandscapes is doing to document successes in that realm

@BIKABOUT What's good for kids and seniors is often great for the rest of the community ☺️ (@multisolving!) Love the co-benefits that come along with your work, Megan!

[Rails to Trails Conservancy @railstotrails]

BREAKING: @USDOT  just announced the grant recipients of Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program & it’s game-changing for trail networks!

Learn more about the RAISE: https://t.co/DZwGxsmK1E. #TrailNation #InvestingInAmerica

[East Coast Greenway @ECGreenway]

Amazing news! A$25 million RAISE grant will go a long way toward linking the Met Branch Trail and Anacostia River Trail system, as well as getting the East Coast Greenway route in the region entirely on trails!

We'll say it again. No.

[Katie Harris @ktharris08]

@thatsMohrlikeit Love that! A great place to start would be to talk to the great folks at Northwest Straits Commission (@NWStraits). They're doing incredible community science and regional marine conservation, with a model that's really unique.

[Katie Harris @ktharris08]

Only seven(!) out of the 480 teams participating chose to take on this unique challenge.

I believe in the power of human-powered transportation, and it was an honor to co-captain my team!

[Katie Harris @ktharris08]

@SkitoSea is the original multisport relay race, from Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay, and celebrated its 50th anniversary this year!

This year, I competed in the car-free division, and along with my teammates, relied on bikes for every piece of the logistics for the race.

[Katie Harris @ktharris08]

The logistics are fairly complicated when you've chosen the car-free division.

You've got to ride with skis attached to bikes from Bellingham to the Mt. Baker Ski Resort, and haul a canoe and sea kayak by bike!

Help out the Amtrak Bike Task Force by taking a short survey to help ID where Amtrak needs improvement! Thank you @ECGreenway and @BikeLeague 💚🚲🚉

[East Coast Greenway @ECGreenway]

With the East Coast Greenway Alliance playing a key role, the Amtrak Bike Task Force aims "to make travel by train with a bike more seamless than ever" - and the task force seeks input on where Amtrak needs improvement!

I'd love help from my network in finding my next role! If you see something you think would be a good fit, would you pass it along? Thank you!

🌲Public lands, conservation
💚Environ facilitation, mediation
🔆Coalition building, partnerships
❇Just Transition, equitable communities

[Katie Harris @ktharris08]

@DrTaraGoddard @nolagodshall That's how I learned it, too!

[Katie Harris @ktharris08]

What's bringing me joy and life today is this conversation between bell hooks and Maya Angelou from 1998, via @LionsRoar.

An oldie, and such a goodie. I'm honored to have been on Earth with these two incredible people.
