🎨 We’re so excited to unveil the winning artwork for this year’s Greater Yellowstone Crane Festival poster contest—Three Cranes at Sunset by Meghan Hanson!
This stunning piece, painted with acrylic on reclaimed Peroba Rosa barn wood from Brazil, will be featured on our 8th Annual Crane Festival posters, banners, ads, merchandise—and even a special @grandtetonbrewing can! 🍻
Meghan is an architect and artist who splits her time between the Bitterroot Valley of Montana and Teton Valley, Idaho. “The name ‘at Sunset’ is in reference to our home. We live on Sunset Bench outside of Stevensville, MT. I photographed these guys last fall,” she shared.
Her deep connection to place shines through her work, which is created using paint, pencil, and reclaimed materials. The Hanson's property is protected through a conservation easement with @bitterrootlandtrust, where she also serves on the board.
Huge thanks to all the incredible artists who submitted their work—we received more entries than ever this year, and every single one was beautiful. Choosing just one was no easy feat! 💛

🌊 35 Posts for 35 Years: The South Fork of the Snake River
The South Fork of the Snake River stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and conservation. Its pristine waters and abundant wildlife corridors are a reminder of what`s possible when we work together to protect these places.
The Upper Snake River Land Conservation Partnership was formed in 1991 in response to the imminent threats of development in the area, consisting of Bureau of Land Management, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and Teton Regional Land Trust. Through these collaborative efforts, more than 16,000 acres of vital habitat along the South Fork of the Snake River and lower Henry`s Fork are currently being protected through conservation easements.
Why the South Fork is so special:
💙 Runs through an Area of Critical Environmental Concern—home to moose, elk, deer, black bears, and even grizzlies.
💙 The most productive bald eagle nesting habitat in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
💙 Supports one of the healthiest Yellowstone cutthroat trout populations outside of the park.
More than 300,000 people recreate on the South Fork each year—and thanks to your support and decades of collaborative conservation efforts, its natural beauty endures for all to enjoy.

🌾Thank you to the Teton Springs Foundation!
We deeply appreciate their generous support of our Grain for Cranes program, which plays a vital role in sustaining Sandhill Cranes in Teton Valley. As the largest staging area for cranes in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, our valley offers essential wetlands and grain fields where these majestic birds can rest and refuel during migration. With development increasingly impacting farmland, this program helps ensure they have reliable food sources near their roosting sites.
Together, we`re working to protect the habitat these iconic birds—and so many other important species—rely on.
