Wildlife-vehicle collisions are a growing, dangerous, and expensive problem. But fortunately, effective solutions exist. During this event, two local experts in the field of road ecology will explore a variety of measures being implemented in Montana and around the world to prevent these tragic accidents, including different types of wildlife crossing structures. They will also discuss current efforts to reduce collisions right here in the Gallatin Valley.
