Conference Announcements
Keynote Speaker Announced
The 2026 NETWC Conference is pleased to announce Dr. Patricia Cramer as the keynote speaker. A national leader in wildlife mitigation along roadways, Dr. Cramer's lifelong love of animals — from childhood pets to raccoons and horses — eventually led her into wildlife ecology, and her path into transportation ecology began as a volunteer in Florida, helping build wildlife crossings for turtles, snakes, alligators, and other animals at the Paynes Prairie Ecopassages. She now works at the national level conducting field research at wildlife crossing structures and helping states develop wildlife and transportation action plans. Over the past 22 years, she has monitored more than 100 wildlife crossing structures and worked with 17+ states, including Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York. She is the founder and director of the Wildlife Connectivity Institute, which promotes science and action to reduce wildlife-vehicle conflict and restore wildlife movement across landscapes. Dr. Cramer holds a PhD from the University of Florida, a Master's degree from Montana State University, and a Bachelor of Science from SUNY College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry.
The Northeast Transportation and Wildlife Collaborative is a fiscally sponsored project of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE), 23564 Calabasas Road Suite 201, Calabasas, CA 91302.
