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.

🦌 Elk on the Move!
A landowner recently spotted a herd of elk moving freely between the Big Hole Mountains and the Teton River! Conservation easements, made possible by dedicated landowners, ensure migration corridors stay open and unimpeded. Without them, development could block ancient migration routes, threatening wildlife that has relied on these pathways for generations.
Thank you to landowners and supporters for securing a future where elk and other wildlife can continue to roam freely.🌲

🦅 Did You Know?
Bald eagles are amazing hunters, capable of diving at speeds up to 100 mph to catch their prey! These incredible birds rely on healthy habitats to thrive, and the South Fork of the Snake River is one of the most important nesting areas for bald eagles in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
Since 1991, Teton Regional Land Trust, the Bureau of Land Management, The Conservation Fund, and The Nature Conservancy, have protected over 20,000 acres along the South Fork. This corridor remains the most productive bald eagle nesting habitat in the region, producing half the bald eagle chicks in Idaho each year. 💛
