Goal:
This corridor naturally funnels wildlife north and south through the Rocky Mountains and across Highway 3.
Human activity is making it increasingly difficult for wildlife to travel, with over 150 animals killed on Highway 3 each year.
When you shop Poppy Barley from June 18 to August 31, 1% of sales will be donated to conserve precious land and take the first steps to create future wildlife crossing solutions.
In partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Jim Prentice Wildlife Corridor.
