BIG NEWS: The US 89 Wildlife & Transportation Assessment is here!

This assessment identifies important areas where wildlife accommodation measures—such as culverts, bridges, underpasses, overpasses, animal detection systems and fencing—can improve the safety of travelers and wildlife through Paradise Valley and the Gardiner Basin by reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions.

This assessment is a huge step towards making US 89 safer for locals, visitors, and Yellowstone’s wildlife.

Read the full assessment through the link in our bio, share it to help build momentum and support, and follow @yellowstonesafepassages to stay up-to-date with the latest news and opportunities to get involved!
