Our mission is to support collaborative solutions that address and resolve wildlife-vehicle conflict on Highway 89.
We envision the Upper Yellowstone to be a place where visitors and locals can travel the highway without wildlife-related accidents, and where the highway doesn’t act as a barrier to annual and seasonal movement of Yellowstone’s wildlife populations.
The intended results will be increased public awareness, advanced partnerships between local and regional stakeholders, and reduced wildlife-vehicle conflicts

The US 89 Wildlife & Transportation Assessment is here!
This assessment combines public agency data, citizen science, local and expert knowledge, and engineering expertise to identify priority areas where wildlife accommodation measures—such as culverts, bridges, underpasses, overpasses, animal detection systems and fencing—can improve the safety of travelers and wildlife by reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions while allowing wildlife to move safely across the highway.
