Take Action

Advocacy at a distance

The Alliance works to proactively create a better future for Jackson Hole, and sometimes this requires defending our environment and community against bad ideas. We keep track of a variety of policies, plans, and issues affecting our valley, and need your help shaping their outcome.

With the current COVID-19 pandemic, much of our organizing work will be taking on a different shape. While we are unsure how this will affect our campaigning this summer, we are, for now, going forward with our advocacy work from a distance and you can too.

Community means more now than ever. Together, we can make a difference.

Right now, you can help with the following campaigns and community efforts- from the comfort (and safety) of your own home:

  2. The Town of Jackson and Teton County have processes for people to participate in public meetings remotely. We have included tips and instructions on how to do this as well

Heli No

Scenic helicopter tours would disrupt our wilderness areas by circling our lands, wildlife, and people. Tony Chambers of Wind River Air, LLC has a new proposal for scenic helicopter tours. While the proposal does not involve flying over or within a half mile of the park (except during takeoff and landing), the route includes wilderness areas and popular recreation areas. What you can do:

  1. Sign our petition to ban scenic helicopter tours in Jackson Hole (click button below)
  2. Learn more on our Heli No campaign page
  3. Submit a comment to the Airport Board by Friday 4/24/20 opposing helicopter tours – board@jhairport.org/ cc: windriverair@gmail.com
