July is a month of outdoor adventure, reminding us of the beauty in the natural world around us. This month, we are sharing a story about a remarkable effort to protect the animals that are a part of that world.

In Colorado, North America's largest wildlife overpass has officially opened along a six-lane stretch of Interstate 25 near Larkspur. Measuring 200 feet wide and covered with dirt and native vegetation, the Greenland overpass now allows moose, elk, black bears, mountain lions, and pronghorn to safely cross a highway that once saw an average of one wildlife-vehicle collision every single day. Completed ahead of schedule and on budget, the structure connects 39,000 acres of habitat on both sides of the highway and is expected to reduce wildlife-vehicle crashes by 90%.

It is a beautiful reminder that when communities, agencies, and organizations come together with a shared purpose, the results can be extraordinary.

July is a month that celebrates boldness, and history has shown us time and again that what once seemed impossible can often be the goal or dream most worth pursuing.

It can be easy to look at a big goal and talk yourself out of it before you even begin. The competition feels too steep, the timing feels off, or the path forward feels unclear. But most of the breakthroughs we celebrate today, whether in business, science, or everyday life, started with someone who refused to be stopped by what seemed out of reach.

This July, we’re not just celebrating Independence Day — we’re also celebrating 250 years as a nation, a truly once-in-a-lifetime holiday. Our team wishes each of you a happy, safe, and memorable Fourth of July!

Please note that our office is closed on Friday, July 3rd. We’ll be back on Monday, July 6th, ready to assist with any early summer questions or needs.
