Our Goals:
Roaring Fork Safe Passages has launched to create citizen advocacy in support of reducing vehicle wildlife collisions in the Roaring Fork Valley. This organization will also serve to coalesce local and state stakeholders to conceptualize and build land bridges, tunnels and fencing to knit back together our now fragmented watershed and reduce wildlife vehicle collisions.
“Finding safe ways for wildlife to negotiate our highways is good for people, who’ll experience many fewer critter collisions, and for the critters who must cross highways to survive. Safe passages save money and save lives, both human and wild.”
Stay tuned!
