OUR MISSION

To serve as a powerful advocate for protecting and restoring the surface waters and groundwater in Teton County, Wyoming.
 

The time is now to Protect our Water, Jackson Hole!

It's caused by excess nitrogen and phosphorus entering our waterways from a wide range of human activities. Too much nitrogen and phosphorus in the water causes a myriad of negative impacts affecting human health, the environment, and our economy.

Projects
