High School Field Ecology, Teton Science Schools’ first program, is now in its 40th year! This year’s class includes students from accross the country and Mexico. It is a gift to work with such a talented and curious group of students. After a week of field ecology in Jackson, the group spent 4 nights camping in Yellowstone and studying geothermal feature and Wildlife Biology.
Last Friday the students worked with Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation in a conservation service project. The group removed 1/4 mile of barbed wire fence in critical Pronghorn habitat along the Gros Ventre Road. The work was difficult, but the results were tangible and will help facilitate a safer Pronghorn migration along the corridor between Jackson Hole’s summer range and winter habitat in Sublette County and Wyoming’s Red Desert.
Congratulations students on a job well done!
