LandWatch’s new Livable Future Forum will provide a place for discussion and dialogue about the key environmental issues of our time and the solutions that we can put into place locally. On Oct 3, 2024, we will talk about the factors leading to local mule deer population decline and the critically-needed solutions available to help them.

Creating wildlife crossings is a practical, cost-effective move that is also an act of empathy that insists that animals have a right to safety, just as we humans do.

Did you know that Oregon has the highest likelihood of wildlife crashes among west coast states? There’s a bill that would change that. Help us get the Wildlife Crossings Investment Act over the finish line!

The most significant barrier to mule deer movement across the landscape is highways. However, Wildlife crossings, in the form of highway underpasses and overpasses, have been shown to be highly effective in reducing the wildlife/vehicle collisions that are a major source of mule deer mortality.
