The Wyoming Migration Initiative at the University of Wyoming partnered with Grand Teton National Park to put together the film "Animal Trails: Rediscovering Grand Teton Migrations," which shares the story of Grand Teton wildlife migrations and the surrounding lands and people that sustain them. The Teton River Canyon mule deer herd and Clen Atchley, a conservation easement landowner and past Teton Regional Land Trust Board Member, are highlighted starting at minute seven. Private land conservation started in the Teton River Canyon landscape 25 years ago with a 760-acre conservation easement donated to Teton Regional Land Trust (TRLT) in 1998. Since then, over 2,180 acres along the Bitch and Badger Creek corridors have been protected through permanent conservation easements held by TRLT and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and strategic fee title acquisitions through a partnership between The Conservation Fund and Bureau of Land Management. Our most recent 183-acre easement in that landscape, protecting over one mile of frontage along Bitch Creek, was completed in December 2022 and donated by the Fosdick family. Right now, our land protection staff is working toward another conservation easement in the Teton River Canyon protecting more critical migratory habitat. Over the past five years, there's been renewed interest in this landscape--coinciding with the mule deer research of Grand Teton National Park and Idaho Department of Fish and Game, which is described in this film. This work has helped TRLT and our partners focus our efforts where we can work with private landowners and have the greatest impact for mule deer that depend on this system. This story is a great reminder of why we do the work we do--and a reminder of the impact this work has in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Private lands conservation is critical to the future of wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Area. What we have here is irreplaceable. Once it's gone, it's gone forever. THANK YOU for all YOU do to help keep the large animal migrations and the open agricultural landscapes they depend on intact!
