Wild Aware: Participate in Our Pilot Citizen Scientist Project

Be a Citizen Scientist

We often see wildlife on our roads.

IF we are LUCKY (and careful) we can usually stop in time before injuring or killing an animal - or causing damage to our vehicle or injury to ourselves.

YOU can be part of the solution. If you live in or drive in the mountain communities of Evergreen, Conifer, Morrison or Indian Hills, you can be part of a pilot citizen science project.

By downloading and using the RoadKillapp, your data will be part of a data set that WIld Aware will analyze to take action to improve awareness and solutions for wildlife on our roads.

If you choose to download and use the RoadKill app from June 1 - August 31, 2022, you will be a part of an important pilot project.

Watch the video above and/or follow the step by step instructions below to help us make a difference for wildlife in our community.
