In Sept. 2009, the Conservation Alliance celebrated 30 years of partnering for a wild and beautiful Jackson Hole.
Please click here for highlights of 30 ways the Alliance has made a difference since 1979... with your help!

Many of the Alliance’s accomplishments are things you don’t see in Jackson Hole today:

A water slide amusement park across from the National Elk Refuge A subdivision in Bridger-Teton National Forest at Mosquito Creek
Big-box chain stores in the valley’s scenic hayfields A city-sized airport in Grand Teton National Park
Oil and gas development on
hundreds of thousands of acres of
Bridger-Teton National Forest
A Snake River Dam that would have flooded Grand Teton National Park’s Oxbow Bend
However, some of our accomplishments are visible:
Healthy Rivers
With kayakers, rafters, anglers and other conservation groups, the Alliance launched a Wild and Scenic Rivers campaign to protect the Snake River and its headwaters
Smart Growth
The Alliance advocated for smart growth principles for a development proposal at Teton Village, which resulted in the preservation of 1,300 acres of open space
Plutonium-Free Powder
The Conservation Alliance helped stop a proposed nuclear waste incinerator 100 miles from Jackson Hole
Wildlife Habitat
We successfully encouraged the Park Service to re-think plans for developing the wildlife-sensitive McCollister site in Grand Teton National Park
Open Fields
We formed a coalition that reversed a Town Council decision to allow annexation and development of the 822-acre Porter Estate south of town
Promoting Energy Efficiency
Conservation Alliance staff, board and volunteers have raffled two hybrid gas-electric cars
Rosie’s Ridge
We joined with concerned residents to save miles of pristine forest and wetlands from the impacts of new highway construction near Togwotee Pass and the Buffalo Fork River
Wildlife
The Alliance helped return the wolf to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and continues to work with other conservation groups to ensure protection of this and other species
