Join the Greater Yellowstone Coalition online for a presentation on supporting ungulate migration and wildlife movement in Greater Yellowstone.
The great migrations across Greater Yellowstone are unlike anywhere else on earth. Pronghorn, elk, and deer ebb and flow across the ecosystem, driving the heartbeat of this wild heart of North America. However, these ancient paths and habitats are often obstructed by miles and miles of fencing. Without easy connectivity, our beloved ungulates are at risk.
Fortunately, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition is hard at work supporting the reconnection of movement corridors and seasonal habitats.
Removing and modifying fencing is one of the simplest and most effective ways of ensuring the landscape is permeable and wildlife can move without the harm barbed wire fences can cause. GYC co-chairs the Absaroka Fence Initiative, a community-driven initiative to ensure fences function for livestock management and wildlife movement through on-the-ground projects, volunteer workdays, and educational outreach. Join GYC’s Senior Wyoming Conservation Associate Erin Welty to learn more about our efforts to enhance wildlife habitat connectivity and what you can do to help.
