COMMUNITY CONSERVATION

What it means to us

At the Jackson Hole Land Trust, we define community conservation as the inclusive, holistic experiences and programs that engage people with nature. These projects inspire our community through interactions out among open spaces and improve the quality of life for all our neighbors.

R Park

As the only non-profit park in Teton County, R Park is a natural, public space that provides the community with an accessible, safe area to play and explore. Set on 40 acres of a reclaimed gravel pit, R Park is designed to connect people to land and nature.

FoundSpace

FoundSpace encourages tangible interaction between land and art. The large-scale interactive installations created on public properties link local artists and the community to found objects and conserved open spaces.

WyoView

WyoView seeks to unite art and conservation to cultivate a deeper sense of place throughout Northwest Wyoming. By pairing local artists with iconic and treasured Land Trust protected properties, WyoView raises awareness for the importance of open space protection.
