2011 Annual ReportOctober 1, 2010 – September 30, 2011
Jackson Hole
L and Trust
Dear Friends, In the heart of winter in Jackson Hole, snow blankets the valley and wildlife and people find
opportunities to take shelter, curling up under trees and shrubs… or by a fireplace. This is a
wonderful, peaceful time at the Jackson Hole Land Trust, when we can take a moment to re-
flect on the accomplishments of the past fiscal year and set our sights on the year ahead.
It can also be a very exciting time, as many projects eyed for protection for the current fiscal
year have already closed in our first quarter.
Our Annual Report highlights the work of each of our departments in the past fiscal year –
October 1st, 2010 through September 30th, 2011. We are grateful for our dedicated staff and
board, which continue to effectively implement new projects, campaigns, and events under
the guidance of our strategic plan. In our 2011 fiscal year, we placed 3 new properties under
permanent protection – the Flat Creek Corridor, Bar B Bar Ranch, and Lazy G Ranch properties.
These projects demonstrate the power of small but strategic parcels of high conservation
value. While the Land Trust will always focus on our core mission to protect properties for their
open space, scenic, ranching, and wildlife values, we also welcome opportunities to protect
community-accessed open spaces like Emily’s Pond, Flat Creek Corridor, and River Springs that
give us all a chance to meaningfully connect to the land, right where we live, work, and play.
Glancing over our list of supporters, it is both humbling and inspiring to see the enduring
commitment to land conservation that enables us to operate successfully, year after year,
generation after generation. Your continued generosity allows us to respond quickly and
credibly to new opportunities for land protection, and steward the amazing properties in and
around Jackson Hole that have been placed under protection since our first conservation
easement over 30 years ago. Thank you for joining us in keeping this Forever Our Valley.
Sincerely,
Laurie Andrews Pete LawtonExecutive Director Board President

Flat Creek CorridorWhen the Flat Creek property went
on the market, both the Land Trust
and the Town of Jackson knew
immediately that protecting it from
development was a high priority.
To preserve this important property,
centrally located within the Town
of Jackson, the Land Trust partnered
with the Town of Jackson to acquire
it from the private seller in phases
spread over a period of four years,
giving both parties time to raise
the necessary remaining funds by
2014. The property will eventually
be owned by the Town with the
Land Trust holding a conservation
easement on it. The first phase
of the Flat Creek Corridor Project
was finalized in December 2010,
which conserves approximately 30
acres of prime wildlife and riparian
habitat along Flat Creek important
to native cutthroat trout, mule deer,
and moose, and protects a beloved
trail system on the northwest slope
of Snow King Mountain. Planned
improvements to the property will
also support water quality and flood
control improvements on Flat Creek.
Land ProtectionThe Jackson Hole Land Trust has protected
over 22,000 acres of land since our founding
in 1980, and currently holds 198 conservation
easements that preserve open space and
the scenic, ranching, and wildlife values of
Jackson Hole and the surrounding areas
of the Greater Yellowstone. We work with
landowners to conserve parcels both large
and small that contribute to the valley’s
character, habitat, and vibrant culture…
and do so in perpetuity.
In fiscal year 2011, we conserved three new properties totaling 82 acres. These relatively small parcels have
high conservation impacts - protecting critical
wildlife habitat and migration corridors,
treasured open space in Jackson Hole, and
ranching heritage in the Upper Wind River
Valley. We also secured commitments for over
$14 million in public funding
for conservation projects. In an effort to
educate Wyoming professionals about the
benefits and complexities of conservation
easements, we co-sponsored the Wyoming
Conservation Easement Conference, held at
the University of Wyoming in June 2011.
Wyoming Conservation Easement Conference
We partnered with The University
of Wyoming College of Law Rural
Law Center and the Wyoming Stock
Growers Agricultural Land Trust to
present the Wyoming Conservation
Easement Conference, held in
Laramie, Wyoming in June 2011.
The full-day conference was a
unique opportunity for Wyoming
professionals and others interested
in land conservation to learn about
the complexities and benefits of
conservation easements, through
expert lectures and presentations
covering conservation easement
basics, contributions and sales,
appraisal issues, tax incentives,
energy development, ethics and more.
In the same spirit of collaboration,
we partnered with the Wyoming
Stock Growers Agricultural Land Trust
to produce “The Future is Open: Using
Conservation Easements to Plan
for the Future of Your Ranch,” an
educational publication for ranching
and agricultural landowners.
Bar B Bar RanchWe accepted a 37-acre conservation
easement from John and Bobbie
Nau in December 2010 on their Bar B
Bar Ranch property. This easement
conserves the majority of a parcel
of land owned by the Naus along the
Snake River north of Jackson,
preserving habitat for boreal toads,
Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat
trout, and elk, which utilize the
property for rutting, calving, and
migration routes between Grand
Teton National Park and the National
Elk Refuge. The easement was
conveyed pursuant to Teton County’s
planned residential development
(PRD) land use tool, which encourages
clustered development and open
space protection.
Lazy G Ranch The 15-acre Lazy G Ranch, owned
by Robert and Mary Lou McGee, is
situated on Six Mile Creek in the
heart of Fremont County’s Dunoir
Valley and is home to an array of
wildlife including elk, eagles, wolves,
bears, mule deer, pronghorn and
moose. The breathtaking Dunoir
Valley is surrounded by the jagged
peaks and escarpments of the
Absaroka Mountains, and is one of
the most wildlife rich areas in the
state of Wyoming, boasting premiere
habitat for ungulates, predators,
raptors and fish. The valley is
comprised of private ranches
surrounded by public lands. The
significant wildlife and open space
value of this property made it a
priority for the Wind River Program
of the Jackson Hole Land Trust;
the conservation easement on this
property was generously donated
by the McGees in December 2010.

Looking ahead to fiscal year 2012, we have our sights set on 12 active protection projects representing over 10,000 acres
in Jackson Hole and the Upper Wind River Valley. The year is already off to a
strong start, with three new properties closed on in December 2011, including
the River Springs Project, the second phase of the Flat Creek Corridor Project,
and River Rock Ranch IV.
Acquiring the River Springs Project has been an exciting and dynamic process.
We recognized that this property, centrally located between Jackson, Wilson, and
Teton Village on the Snake River, presented a rare opportunity for an incredible
investment, given the property’s strategic location, the value the community
places on the property, and the opportunity to guarantee community access in
perpetuity. The Rendezvous Lands Conservancy, a non-profit entity created by
The LOR Foundation and the Jackson Hole Land Trust, is the new owner of the
property and will oversee the management of the property, its reclamation, and
its public use, while the Land Trust will hold the property’s conservation easement.
The long-term vision for the site is to work with local community groups to
transform it into a community centerpiece, with a new community park, pathways
connections, and boat launch improvements. We are grateful for the timely
support of The LOR Foundation, The Conservation Fund, and our supporters that
enabled us to successfully close the land deal.
We continue to assess land conservation priorities in Jackson Hole and more
recently, the Upper Wind River Valley, and seek to partner with the owners
of remaining important parcels to preserve their land. We believe that by
communicating with individual landowners, hosting community seminars, and
doing other community outreach, we can ensure that the owners of Jackson
Hole’s and the Upper Wind River Valley’s most critical properties are aware of
conservation alternatives and the associated benefits. If landowners are
interested in collaborating with us to protect their properties, we work extensively
with them to find solutions that meet both parties’ needs. With more than 30,000
acres of Teton County’s agricultural and open lands vulnerable to development,
there remains critical work to be done by the Land Trust that is made possible
by your support.
Wind River ProgramIn response to growing interest in the expansion of our work, the Land Trust initiated
the Wind River Program in 2007. From our office in Dubois, Program Director Ellen
Vanuga’s primary focus is protecting the extraordinary conservation values of the
Upper Wind River Valley, while also responding to requests from landowners in
other parts of Fremont County. It was a bumper year in terms of securing public
funding for conservation easements in the Wind River drainage: over $12 million in
state and federal funding was awarded to easement projects facilitated through
the Wind River Program.
Having completed two exemplary projects in
the Torrey Creek Valley in 2009, the focus for
the past fiscal year shifted upstream to the
first major tributary of the Wind River, the
Dunoir Valley. Protection of this valley enjoys
support throughout the state and region.
We are extremely fortunate for the opportune
timing of interested, conservation-minded
landowners coinciding with the availability
of public funding. As we look forward to 2012, the successful protection of
several thousand acres in the Dunoir Valley now rests on acquiring matching
funds from the private sector.
In lower Fremont County near Lander, a landowner recently approached us about
permanently protecting a large cattle ranch from the prospect of subdividing. It is
very rewarding to work with three generations of family on a project which,
combined with adjacent conservation acquisitions in the foothills of the Wind
River Mountains, will accomplish landscape-scale protection.
Our work continues to gain acceptance and visibility in Wind River country, an area known to be
important wintering grounds for wildlife from an extensive swath of western
Wyoming. We anticipate continued momentum as landowners and communities
recognize the benefits derived from permanent protection of wildlife habitat,
ranchlands, and scenic open space.

recent protection successes.

Our community events are a fun and compelling way for us to
connect with our supporters and local community members – and an opportunity to give
visibility to the valued, reputable work that we do.
This year, we kept longstanding traditions alive while exploring new
ways to connect people to the land and to our work at our events.
We kicked off the season with the Farm Fresh Dinner,
co-hosted with Slow Food of the Tetons and hosted at the Snake
River Ranch – a sold-out event showcasing a menu entirely made of
local produce and meat. Next up was a preview party in celebration
of our Open Space Council and Board of Directors at the Diehl
Gallery, featuring nationally celebrated artist Hung Liu. Our 31st
Annual Picnic, held every year since 1980 on the second
Sunday in August, was celebrated at the beautiful Parker Property,
with delicious barbeque, music by Anne and Pete Sibley, and a live
demonstration by the Teton Raptor Center. Together with the Teton
Raptor Center, we invited families to the Hardeman Barns property
for a late summer picnic and an up-close look at ospreys, eagles,
and other raptors. We ended the season at Kate and Brad Mead’s
ranch with A Taste of Kentucky, another sold-out
event with a whiskey tasting guided by Steve and Donna Nally of
Wyoming Whiskey.
In Dubois, the Wind River Program launched its third season of the
popular historic ranch tours, in cooperation with the
Dubois Museum. As usual, the three tours, each featuring two different
ranches, sold out well in advance and proved to be a fascinating
glimpse into Wind River history and an insight into the current value
of ranchland as open space. In early July, the Absaroka Ranch in the
Dunoir Valley sponsored a full day of horseback riding across the
wildlife rich ridges and foothills overlooking the drainage, with stunning
views in every direction and a picnic lunch in an aspen grove.
Community Events Each conservation property has its own set of values, and each
conservation easement has its own set of terms. The active
stewardship of our conservation properties is critical to ensuring that the long-term legacy of
our organization’s work is upheld.
When a conservation easement is finalized, the Land Trust
takes on the obligation to uphold the conservation values
of that property forever. Because of the success of our land
protection efforts each year, the costs of stewardship increase
approximately 15% per year. This stewardship responsibility
requires staff and board members to conduct annual monitoring
visits to each protected property, and to build long-term
relationships with the landowners. In the 2011 monitoring season,
we visited 196 easement areas during
122 monitoring visits, along with conducting
numerous baseline inventories on proposed projects.
We cultivated over 115 landowner
relationships, striving to be a resource to owners
of conserved property, fielding inquiries and responding to
requests, and working to remedy any compliance issues.
In managing the lands owned by the Land Trust, we seek to be
a model of good stewardship. Much of our land is leased to
working ranches, supporting local agriculture and providing
revenue to fund the Land Trust’s conservation work. We
constantly evaluate our land management practices to ensure
a healthy relationship between agricultural productivity and
providing quality habitat for wildlife and scenic views.
Stewardship
Hardeman Barns Restoration ProjectAs part of our stewardship program, we also undertake
specific projects to preserve and enhance the health and
productivity of protected lands by, for example, restoring
degraded spring creeks, erecting raptor perches, and helping
landowners develop and implement best management
practices. In 2011, we continued work on the restoration of
a spring creek on the iconic Hardeman Barns property in
Wilson, WY, owned by the Land Trust since 1989. This restoration
project contributes to the health of the Fish Creek watershed
as well as the wildlife that depend on it. The project includes
several components to restore ecological function to the site,
while improving the agricultural productivity at the same
time. The project was made possible through support
from the Natural Resource Conservation Service, the Wyoming
Governor’s Stock Water Pumping Initiative, and off-site
mitigation activities. To date, livestock has been fenced out
of the riparian area and the stock watering system replaced,
using wells, tanks, and a solar water pump to better distribute
grazing pressure and enhance water quality in Fish Creek.
At the same time, connectivity with the creek has been
improved through the replacement of an undersized culvert,
and the riparian area enhanced through the construction
of new wetlands.

The Teton Legacy Society of the Jackson Hole Land
Trust was formed in order to celebrate the individuals
with the foresight and generosity to make a life income
or bequest provision for the Jackson Hole Land Trust.
Benefits of this lifetime membership include not only
the knowledge that you have helped secure the future of
this valley but invitations to exclusive events, special field
trips and annual recognition. With a planned charitable
gift to the Teton Legacy Society, you can protect the
future landscape of this valley while also fulfilling your
own financial goals. Speak to your financial advisor or
call the Land Trust to discuss the giving strategy that
is right for you.
