Building collisions kill more than a billion birds each year in the U.S. and Canada.

The Great Rivers Greenway is advancing its mission to make the St. Louis region more vibrant by developing a network of trails and greenways. We learned all about it from our hosts at this year's Collaboration of Regional Trail Initiatives.

In that spirit, we speak with some of the people behind the Great Rivers Greenway to understand how the successes and lessons learned can inform other trail projects.…

We speak with the bipartisan team behind the bill, Rep. Valerie Gaydos and Rep. Emily Kinkead of Allegheny County.…

The bill's sponsor, Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler of Philadelphia, says this is only the beginning.…
