Wildlife Foundation Receives 1% for the Tetons Grant for Nature Mapping



The Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation received a grant for $11,500 from 1% for the Tetons to support its collaborative efforts with the Meg and Bert Raynes Wildlife Fund to establish Nature Mapping Jackson Hole. The Wildlife Foundation was one of eight organizations receiving a 2009 grant from 1% for the Tetons. The Nature Mapping program will engage our community in documenting the wildlife and environmental features of the Jackson Hole area and increase the existing knowledge base about wildlife presence, habits, migration and threats. Nature Mapping is establishing an online system consisting of a website, database and GIS interface, and teaching people how to document the presence of wildlife in the community and enter their observations into this online system. Watch this site for information about upcoming trainings or visit the Meg and Bert Raynes Wildlife Fund for more information.


Successful Red Rock Rance Fence Pull


THANK YOU! Over twenty-five volunteers including two US Forest Service fire-fighting crews showed up to help with a large fencing project on Red Rock Ranch on August 15. We removed a second strand of barbed wire on a fence enclosing a 160 acre Pronghorn grazing and migration area and replaced it with smooth wire so Pronghorn are not injured when they go under the wire. Altogether, we will be took down two miles of barbed wire fence and strung two miles of smooth wire. This was a big job and we offer a huge thank you to Dale Dieter, Jackson District Ranger, Bridger Teton National Forest and his fire fighting crews.
