Because of the rare plant and wide-ranging animal species that depend upon it, the Teton River Basin has been ranked the number one private lands conservation priority area within the entire Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem for its combination of irreplaceable ecological value and vulnerability.

Steeped in agricultural tradition, farming and ranching remains significant in Teton Basin, benefitting both people and wildlife.

The South Fork Snake River corridor from Swan Valley to Menan Buttes is one of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem’s most outstanding fish and wildlife resources, including the cottonwood gallery forest along this reach of the river, named the number one wildlife resource in Idaho.

Because of the combination of rare plant and animal populations in the area, the Henry’s Fork River is ranked as the number two conservation priority within the entire Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem for its irreplaceable ecological value.

The Island Park Caldera, the Henry’s Lake Flat, Shotgun Valley, and the south slope of the Centennial Range make up a large and diverse landscape, where there are is great value for migratory and wintering elk and sage grouse, raptor migration corridors, and expansive habitats of value to many species.

Last week, we had the opportunity to visit Fort Hall and spend time with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes alongside fellow regional land trusts. We left grateful for all we learned and for the chance to better understand the Tribes’ history, culture, and connection to the land.

A Season of Crane Monitoring
Every fall, Greater Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis) gather in Teton Valley before beginning their migration south for the winter. Teton Valley is the largest pre-migration staging area for Sandhill Cranes in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and one of the most important staging areas for the Rocky Mountain Population. Cranes typically spend four to six weeks here, arriving in late August and early September and migrating south at the end of September or early October, depending on available foraging resources and weather patterns.
