Last year over 360 deer, elk, and moose were struck and killed by cars in Teton County, WY alone! We can do better than this and protect people and wildlife by developing safe wildlife crossings.

Ecotour Adventures has pledged support for the bill and committed to outfit our vehicles with the plates should it pass.
