ABOUT US

Wild Aware began in December, 2019, with the mission of mitigating wildlife-vehicle collisions in the Evergreen community. Wild Aware continues to seek solutions and strategies to address our WVC challenges.

Understanding that living in respectful coexistence with wildlife requires education, outreach, and resources, Wild Aware has developed pathways to collaboration with wildlife experts, educators and other non-profit organizations with which we share similar goals.

The result is the programs and leadership that we have today which reflect the great passion and commitment to Wild Aware’s mission and values that so many of our community share. We are grateful to our leadership and to all of the volunteers that make our teams strong and the effects of our work tangible. Thank you.
