Habitat Restoration: Protecting Wild Spaces
Reviving Habitats, Supporting Wildlife, and Fostering Balance
How We Restore Habitat
Restoring habitat in Jackson Hole and surrounding regions is critical to maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting the wildlife that depends on them. This area serves as a key migration corridor and year-round home for numerous species, making habitat restoration essential for sustaining biodiversity and ecological balance. Efforts like removing invasive weeds and improving wildlife corridors ensure animals can access the resources they need to survive and thrive.
These restoration projects benefit a wide range of species, including elk, mule deer, pronghorn, moose, and bighorn sheep. Birds such as sandhill cranes and sage grouse also rely on these habitats for nesting and feeding. By improving and protecting these ecosystems, we create a future where wildlife and people can continue to coexist harmoniously in this iconic landscape.
Volunteer for Habitat Improvement
We improve wildlife habitat in Sublette and Teton Counties by removing miles of old fencing and tackling invasive weeds each year. These efforts restore migration routes and protect native ecosystems.
Volunteers are essential to these projects and should come prepared with water-resistant footwear, gloves, sun protection, and a commitment to conservation. By helping remove fences and weeds, you directly support healthier habitats and the long-term preservation of Wyoming’s wildlife.
Our Projects
Wildlife Friendlier Fencing
Wildlife-friendly fencing projects have a profound impact by allowing animals like pronghorn, elk, and mule deer to migrate freely, reducing injuries, and fostering healthier ecosystems while balancing the needs of landowners and wildlife.
Weeds Project
Invasive weed removal restores native plant ecosystems, creating healthier foraging habitats for wildlife like elk and deer, while relying on dedicated volunteers to preserve this vital landscape.
LaBarge Restoration
In Sublette County, WY, we partner with the Bureau of Land Management to reduce erosion, restore habitat, manage seasonal fence drops, and build beaver dam analogs to support wetlands and ecosystem recovery.
