It’s that time of year – #deer are on the move. If you hit a deer: ➡️ Get your vehicle safely off the road, if possible. ➡️ If someone is hurt or the deer is on an active portion of the road, call 911. ➡️ If your vehicle and deer are off the road, contact local law enforcement.

WisDOT proactively manages roadsides to protect native plants and pollinators. Native plants absorb stormwater runoff and provide erosion control, while pollinators help our farmers. Learn more about our natural roadside philosophy: wisconsindot.gov/Pages/doing… #PollinatorWeek @WDNR
