The SAS Motus Campaign
The SAS Motus campaign is a new campaign to add three Motus Towers between the Yellowstone and Jefferson Rivers to complete a Motus Tracking System “fence” along Southern Montana to track migratory birds and at-risk bird species as they move through or nest in our region.
We have partnered with American Bird Conservancy and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to purchase and construct the first Motus Towers in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The SAS Board is extremely excited to be a part of this important international project that will help fill a tracking gap that exists between the Yellowstone and Jefferson Rivers. The IAWP Board is also in full support of this project as it will provide outstanding educational data and information for our wetlands.
Our goal is to raise $40,000 to not only raise the towers, but also purchase additional radio frequency tags, tag birds in our area, and to maintain the three towers. It will make a difference and it will be our primary campaign for Give Big 2025. We would love your support!
Join Us for a Power Tower Event with American Bird Conservancy’s Kevin Ellison!
Kevin will have radio transmitting tags, a mock antenna set up, and laptops to view actual bird movement data on Motus!
