Join the A-Team

Unseen wildlife need loud advocates.

That's the rallying cry behind the Roaring Fork Safe Passages Advocacy Team aka the A-Team for short. It's a community of nearly 30 valley locals who've decided that watching from the sidelines isn't enough.

Wildlife crossings don't get built because one person cares. They get built because a community does. The A-Team is that community in action.

Who’s On It

The A-Team is proof that this issue reaches every corner of the valley. Photographers. Business owners. Engineers. Writers. Video directors. Environmentalists. Hunters. Financial advisors. A member of the Sheriff's Department. Teachers. Parents. Longtime locals and newer transplants alike.

Different day jobs, different networks, different reasons for caring, but the same conviction: wildlife in the Roaring Fork Valley deserve a safer way to move through it, and that takes all of us.

What They Do

  • Sharing RFSP campaigns and updates with their own networks

  • Reaching out to elected officials and government entities when it matters most

  • Writing letters to the editor and op-eds for local papers

  • Speaking with the community about why this issue hits home for them

  • Showing up at RFSP events

  • Telling their own story. A close call, a near-miss, a reason this work matters to them

No one is expected to do all of it. Everyone brings what they've got and their own ideas, skillsets, and interests. 

A-Team members show up in whatever way fits their skills and their bandwidth. That might look like:

Get to Know a Few of Them

  • "Hunters, runners, scientists, ranchers, parents all coming together is really inspiring. And it's necessary, we need everyone at the table to get this done."
