Finding solutions to provide safe passage for people and wildlife.
Montana is known for its wide-open spaces and abundant wildlife. Roads can prevent wildlife from moving to meet their basic needs. Without safe ways for wildlife to cross busy roads, human and wildlife safety is at risk.
Montanans for Safe Wildlife Passage is advancing innovative solutions.
We are building partnerships, advocating for policies, and raising public awareness to improve and maintain habitat connectivity across Montana roads and provide safe passage for Montana wildlife and drivers.
We are a statewide coalition working for change.
Montanans for Safe Wildlife Passage is a coalition of citizens and conservation organizations that work for safe driving conditions and wildlife connectivity.
You can make a difference in this effort.
Public involvement and support is crucial to securing safer roads for people and wildlife. Learn more about how to get involved.
