The Alaska Moose Federation is dedicated to increasing public safety and food security by delivering roadkill wildlife to charities and AWT Salvage Teams.

Alaska Moose Federation

Over its history, AMF has retrieved and delivered over 6,000 salvage moose (as well as other wildlife) and delivered them to charities statewide. Volunteers operate a fleet of specialized salvage vehicles in the MatSu, Anchorage, Kenai Peninsula, and Fairbanks. After a moose is removed from the roadway, the Alaska State Troopers direct AMF to deliver the moose to specific

charities for processing. The Moose Salvage Program increases public safety by reducing Law Enforcement Officer time at accident scenes, returning traffic flow to normal, and eliminating charity processing at accident scenes. The AMF also collects valuable data from each incident such as: Date, Time, GPS coordinates, Road Conditions, Weather, and Browse attractants on the road side. This data is used by the the Department Of Transportation, Department of Fish & Game, and Department of Public Safety to analyze wildlife impact on transportation systems, which in turn allows them to make the road systems safer for the public. We also collect valuable tissue samples (fecal, jaw, skin, hair, bone, etc.) from most incidents for the Department of Fish & Game which they use to measure the health of the wildlife population. In summary, the AMF provides a valuable service by turning tragedy into food security for thousands of Alaska residents each year. We also assist government agencies to improve the management and function of transportation and wildlife systems in the Great State of Alaska.
