Wildlife crossings

Annually, there are an average of more than 7,600 vehicle collisions with big game in Wyoming, resulting in wildlife and personal injury costs. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department, as well as the Wyoming Department of Transportation and various wildlife and community groups, want to reduce those numbers by taking action to give wildlife the green light for safe passage.

Donations will go to the wildlife crossing initiative to help pay for a variety of projects that help make wildlife and motorists safer on Wyoming roads.
