Last year over 360 deer, elk, and moose were struck and killed by cars in Teton County, WY alone! We can do better than this and protect people and wildlife by developing safe wildlife crossings. Wyoming HB 0039 is a step in the right direction creating funding for these crossings through a Wildlife Connectivity License Plate program. Ecotour Adventures has pledged support for the bill and committed to outfit our vehicles with the plates should it pass.

Located at the interior of over 20 million acres of diverse habitat, Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are often seen as the core of what is called the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). As one of the last relatively intact temperate ecosystems left on earth, the GYE is home to massive mammal migrations, the largest remaining wild bison herd, diverse bird species, grizzly bears, wolves and more. This October, Jackson Hole Ecotour Adventures partnered with our friends at the Greater Yellowstone Coalition to share the GYE with Coalition members, an intimate three day exploration of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.

Today the valley of Jackson Hole is protected by Grand Teton National Park but before 1950 much of it could have been lost to development, threatening habitat for pronghorn antelope, elk, bison, grizzly bears and more.
