The goal of Dead Ahead: Nebraska’s Roadkill Reporting Project is simple but impactful — collect enough statewide data to clearly identify wildlife-crossing hotspots and peak movement trends. Wildlife-vehicle collision data can help us make Nebraska a safer place for wildlife and humans.

Join us on July 18th, 2026 | 10am-12pm at Schramm Education Center for a training workshop that will teach participants how to conduct surveys for this new roadkill reporting project!

Nebraska Game and Parks is looking for dedicated volunteers that can commit to conducting roadkill observation (photo only) surveys every month following the schedule below:

Due to peak wildlife movement periods, each site should be surveyed at least twice a month.

• Feb-Apr
• Sept-Nov

Outside of these peak seasons, sites should be surveyed a minimum of once a month.

• Dec-Jan
• May-Aug

In this training workshop, participants will:

• Learn about community science
• Gain a deeper understanding of road ecology and how it impacts wildlife and humans
• Acquire basic ID skills for common animals in Nebraska
• Run through how to conduct a survey and upload observation data to iNaturalist
• Receive resources and materials

Registration is required to attend this workshop please REGISTER HERE. Spots are limited!
