Rally for Clean Water

Date: 2022 & 2023
Status: Completed

In September 2023, POWJH held our second Rally for Clean Water at the Center for the Arts. This free event brought the community together to raise awareness, discuss solutions, and inspire action for the water quality issues facing Teton County. It featured more than a dozen fun, interactive, science-based exhibits and activities for the whole family focused on different factors affecting water quality issues in our community.

In the theater, POWJH Executive Director Meghan Quinn presented “The State of Water in Teton County.” Keynote speaker Erica Gies, author of “Water Always Wins,” spoke about the ‘Slow Water’ movement, which is detailed in her book, where practitioners aim to collaborate with water rather than try to control it.

For long-term water protection, we need broad awareness and cooperation amongst individuals, businesses, elected officials, and visitors. It’s difficult to believe that things are happening here to degrade our water quality in this incredible place that we thought could never happen. This event shares science-based information about the state of our water and our urgent need for local clean water initiatives.

The good news is that this is a solvable problem! It may seem daunting, but we are not powerless. We can reduce the pressure on our water resources – but it will take a concerted effort by our whole community. Join us at our Rally for Clean Water! We will provide solutions that each of us can accomplish at a personal level. Together, we can create very impactful changes. If we focus on the future, Jackson Hole, as a headwaters community, could become a shining example of forward-thinking water quality solutions.
