From October 2–11, volunteers across Colorado will participate in the 2026 Roadside Wildlife Count by recording wildlife they see along the road—dead or alive—using a simple phone-based app. The information collected will help document where wildlife and roads intersect and support efforts for safer wildlife passage and crossings.
Roadside Wildlife Count Webinar
Anyone can participate! To get involved, register for the Roadside Wildlife Count Webinar above—even if you can’t attend live, you’ll receive access to the recording and training information.

Don’t stash those pumpkins in the landfill—bring them to the Pumpkin Smash!
Join Wild Aware and ESA for a fun community fundraiser where you can smash your own pumpkins, play pumpkin games for all ages, and help keep pumpkins out of the waste stream.
Smashing tools are provided, or simply drop off your pumpkins and let us do the smashing. Pumpkins will be properly composted so they don’t end up in landfills—or become an unnatural food source that can attract and habituate wildlife to people.
Suggested donation: $5 for small pumpkins • $10 for large pumpkins • $30 for 5+ pumpkins
Come smash some pumpkins, meet the ESA bear and Wild Aware elk, and support two local organizations working to create a safer coexistence between people and wildlife!
