JACKSON HOLE LAND TRUST

The Jackson Hole Land Trust is a private nonprofit that was established in 1980. We work to preserve open space and the scenic, ranching, and wildlife values of Jackson Hole by assisting landowners who wish to protect their land in perpetuity.

The Jackson Hole Land Trust is comprised of three departments:

The Protection department works with willing landowners to protect important conservation values on their property.
The Development department coordinates fundraising, communications and public education/outreach.
The Stewardship department is responsible for perpetual monitoring and ecological enhancement of owned land and conservation easement-protected properties. http://www.jhlandtrust.org
