Jackson Hole Land Trust

Protection department: the jhlt works with landowners to protect Land for conservation purposes including open spaces, historic ranching, wildlife habitat and corridors, and scenic corridors. During the year the jhlt protected 581 acres consisting of munger mountain corridor ii; vogel hill lots 9, 10, and 11; twin creek ranch road; and jack creek in the green river valley. To date the jhlt has helped to protect over 57,000 acres in and around Jackson Hole and the greater yellowstone area.

Stewardship department: the jhlt's stewardship department is responsible for actively monitoring and enforcing the conservation easements that the Land Trust holds, and stewarding the properties that the jhlt holds in fee. The jhlt works to uphold the conservation values on easement-protected and fee properties on over 57,000 acres of Land in northwest Wyoming.

Community conservation and public outreach and education: the jhlt educates the public and landowners about our work to protect conservation values on private lands through easements. This is done through letters, publications, our website and email list, in the press, professional seminars, phone calls, field trips and events on easement-protected properties such as r park, and one-on-one meetings, both in Jackson and with donors in cities around the u.s. The Land Trust formed a wyld (Wyoming youth leaders & discovers) membership with over 100 members, as another means of outreach to the community. The Land Trust also granted $73,956 to a related nonprofit organization for the purpose of improving and maintaining Land owned by the related nonprofit organization and currently protected by a conservation easement held by jhlt. The Land Trust granted $6,600 to other non-profit organizations.
