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.
