The world's largest &
most innovative wildlife crossing.
Rising over ten lanes of the 101 at Liberty Canyon, the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing reconnects a landscape split in two, giving mountain lions and countless other species room to roam again.
Learn about the project.
“Wildlife crossings restore ecosystems that had been fractured and disrupted. They reconnect lands and species that are aching to be whole. I believe these crossings go beyond mere conservation, toward a kind of environmental rejuvenation that is long overdue.”

Reconnecting A Habitat Fractured By Freeways
For decades, the 101 has cut the Santa Monica Mountains off from the wild lands to the north. Spanning the freeway at Liberty Canyon and designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding ecosystem, the wallis anneberg wildlife crossing gives wildlife a safe path between two worlds that were never meant to be separate, reconnecting an ecosystem and giving the animals that depend on it room to recover.
You’re going to see this ecological transformation… over one of the busiest freeways in the world — that, to me, is just such a hopeful statement for what’s possible. We can redeem a freeway.
— Beth Pratt, California Regional Executive Director, National Wildlife Federation
