Webinar: Wildlife Crossings in the Smokies

Nobody likes roadkill. Join us for a webinar about Safe Passage, the I-40 Pigeon River Gorge Wildlife Crossing Project to learn what we’re doing to prevent it in this vital wildlife corridor!
You’ll learn what this project aims to do, what’s at stake, who’s involved, and what activities are currently underway to provide safe passage for wildlife across this major highway.

Thank you for the excellent work. The Pigeon River Gorge is so beautiful; I love that drive. I'm wondering if the section of I-40 that needs to be rebuilt after the extensive damage caused by hurricane Helene would make a good place for a safe passage. It would be an opportune time to consider that, as I'm sure you already have.

I've been to the smokies right on the north Carolina border with Gatlinburg Tennessee.
