State of Jackson: Chris Colligan sees a bright future for wildlife

Chris Colligan was driving north, headed home on Highway 89 out of Jackson, when he saw a cow moose in a frenzy. Her calf had been hit by the car. With broken legs, the calf had to be shot. It’s moments like this, and the high-profile death-by-drivers of Grizzly 399 and her cub, 1058, that have motivated the community to be better. Frederick Reimers sits down with Colligan, Teton County’s public works project manager, to learn why, penny for penny, wildlife crossings are one of the best conservation tools we have.
