HELP PERMANENTLY PROTECT AN IMPORTANT PART OF GRAND TETON

Totaling 640 acres, the state-owned Kelly parcel is a significant piece of unprotected land within the boundaries of Grand Teton National Park. The area provides critical habitat for numerous species of wildlife and extraordinary views for recreationists. It is also located within a key migration corridor for pronghorn, elk, and mule deer. If this land is not permanently conserved as part of Grand Teton, it is vulnerable to future development, risking the loss of an essential piece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—one of the last remaining, nearly intact temperate ecosystems on the planet.

Join us today and continue the conservation legacy of Grand Teton. Your gift will protect wildlife and their habitat, conserve access to open space, and provide funding for Wyoming schools. Thank you!

WHY NOW?

CONSERVE WILDLIFE & HABITAT

From a natural resource standpoint, the area is invaluable. The parcel provides seasonal migration routes that have been used for hundreds of years by elk, bison, moose, mule deer, and pronghorn.

PROVIDE FUNDING FOR WYOMING SCHOOLS

The Kelly parcel is state trust land. The Wyoming constitution requires that these assets generate income to support public schools, and the parcel currently generates roughly $2,800 annually through various permits.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE SOLUTION

Grand Teton National Park is securing $62 million in federal money from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Grand Teton National Park Foundation has committed to raise an additional $38 million dollars by the end of 2024, which will inject $100 million into Wyoming's public schools.
