Let Wildlife Move. Let Nature Thrive.
Utah’s landscapes are rapidly changing—with more roads, development, and human activity fragmenting the lands wildlife rely on to survive.
At UWF, we’re working to ensure that animals can move safely across our state—for migration, food, water, and survival.
Our Wildlife Connectivity Program brings together communities, scientists, landowners, and agencies to restore these vital paths and protect the future of Utah’s wildlife.
Here’s how we’re making a difference—and how you can help:
Creating Safer Crossings
In partnership with transportation and wildlife agencies, we support implementing solutions like overpasses, underpasses, fencing, and wildlife signage to reduce collisions and reconnect fragmented habitats. HB431 created a brand new state Wildlife Crossing Account for building wildlife crossings throughout Utah. The Utah Department of Transportation is currently contributing $2 million a year toward this account. But you can contribute too, by donating to the Wildlife Crossing Account on your annual vehicle registration form. Every dollar counts, and by donating you're letting Utah's legislature know building wildlife crossings is a priority for Utahns. Sign up for a reminder to donate to the Wildlife Crossing Account, and we'll remind you when your vehicle registration comes up.
Working with Landowners
We collaborate with private and agricultural landowners to promote conservation tools like zoning improvements, Transfer of Development Rights, and wildlife-friendly easements.
Raising Public Awareness
Through outreach to hunters, anglers, photographers, and hikers, we’re building broad support for wildlife connectivity—and showing how everyone has a role to play.
You Can Help Wildlife Cross Safely
From adopting a corridor to sponsoring a safe-passage project, your support can have a direct impact.
