ROARING FORK
SAFE PASSAGES

Advocating for wildlife and human safety in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Conceptual rendering of the Brush Creek Wildlife Overpass

In the Roaring Fork Watershed...
we have a wildlife divide...
created by the Highway 82 corridor.
It is a rift we seek to stitch...
back together...
by creating safe passages...
that restore habitat connectivity...
and improve the health of our wild friends.
Wildlife crossings save lives and money.

Our Goals

Roaring Fork Safe Passages is a citizen-led advocacy organization dedicated to reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions in the Roaring Fork Valley. We bring together local residents, businesses, government agencies, and state partners to plan and build wildlife crossing infrastructure—overpasses, underpasses, and strategic fencing—that reconnects our fragmented watershed, restores critical migration corridors, and protects both wildlife and people.

“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.”
