John,

Since constructing the nation’s first wildlife overpass in 1975, Utah has pioneered wildlife crossing structures. Thanks to supporters like you, our team successfully advocated for Utah’s allocation of $20 million specifically for wildlife crossings—the second largest investment any U.S. state has directed toward crossing structures. This year, we built on that success, and with our partners, we helped secure an additional $1 million non-lapsing appropriation in Utah’s state budget for wildlife highway accident prevention. This is the first time a state has dedicated recurring funding for wildlife crossing infrastructure.

Your generosity makes this work possible, join us to keep the momentum going!

Your donation works to secure funding for wildlife crossings and reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions in Utah. We look forward to:

1. Increasing the amount of non-lapsing, dedicated funding to comprehensively address multi-year projects that require planning, design, and construction.

   
   

2. Expanding staff capacity at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and Utah Department of Transportation to address statewide wildlife needs.

   
   

3. Supporting the development and passage of legislation that will ensure wildlife movement considerations are incorporated into new development projects and government planning.

This spring, members of our board of directors will match your donation dollar for dollar with a challenge grant of $10,000!

I deeply appreciate your investment in our community. Thank you for making a significant impact for wildlife.
