The time is now to Protect our Water, Jackson Hole

Nutrient pollution is one of America’s most widespread, costly and challenging environmental problems, and it's becoming prevalent in Jackson, too. It's caused by excess nitrogen and phosphorus entering water from a wide range of human activities. Too much nitrogen and phosphorus in the water causes algae to grow faster than ecosystems can handle, resulting in a myriad of negative impacts.

Sources & Effects of Nutrient Pollution

  • To have something happening here that is changing the character of the stream just doesn't seem right in a community like Jackson Hole.
