The South Dakota Statewide Rural Wildlife Crossing Study

The South Dakota Statewide Rural Wildlife Crossings Study was initiated by South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) and partners. The study aims to identify locations throughout the state where wildlife-vehicle collisions occur. The Wildlife Connectivity Institute is the lead organization on this study.

We are working with SDDOT to develop the website and public information materials to get the public and stakeholders updated on the study, stay tuned.
