Grand Teton National Park and John D From: Jackson Hole Children"s Museum To: Arne Jorgensen Subject: Time is Running Out! Date: Thursday, July 29, 2021 10:24:21 AM View this email in your browser "During a year of so much uncertainty, our family was so grateful to have the resources and support of local preschool programs at Children’s Learning Center, Jackson Hole Children’s Museum and Teton Literacy Center. It brought us peace of mind to know that there were caring, professional educators working to minimize the impact of this difficult year on our kids." – Jackson Hole Parent SEE ALL STORIES Hello friends and supporters, You’ve heard it before: kids are resilient. They’re capable of navigating big challenges and being okay. But with the help of caring teachers and peers, their chances are even better. When kids have professional support, guidance, and excellent education, they’re significantly more likely to come out of a challenging time — like the pandemic — with healthy social, emotional, and academic skills and on-track development. The Jackson Hole Children’s Museum, Teton Literacy Center, and Children’s Learning Center are dedicated to collaborating and implementing innovative programming to maximize the resilience of local kids in this critical moment. With programming that includes experience-based curricula as well as an expanded focus on social-emotional development, our organizations are teaming up to ensure that kids have every chance to be as resilient as possible. Your support of Champions for Children will empower us to continue this critical work. Healthy, happy kids make for healthy, happy families — which in turn makes for a thriving workforce, economy, and community. The ripple effect is endless. As we enter the final week of Champions for Children, our fundraising goal is within reach — but only if you make your gift now. You have the power to ensure that 90% of Teton County children get the best start possible. MAKE A GIFT TODAY In their own words.... The way in which high-quality early education enriches and empowers families are diverse, but all significant and meaningful. In their own words, hear how the resources provide in Jackson Hole impacted the lives of these amazing individuals. Strong Relationships and Opportunities Emerge for Families Magali is grateful to Teton Literacy Center for helping her daughter head into kindergarten with important classroom skills, basic reading abilities, and expanded literacy in both English and Spanish. Equally important, Magali says, is the community that surrounds TLC — parents and teachers develop strong relationships, and opportunities emerge for entire families. Playing with Intention “My son loves the Mountain Market and Jackson Jobs exhibits. It’s such an intriguing way for him to model the interactions that he sees around him every day, and he gets such joy from the opportunity to imagine being in these roles. I also love that through this kind of play, he starts to get exposure to math and science skills — checking out with his groceries at the market, measuring medicine for her patients as a vet — they’re important concepts that kids get to see in action, not just in a classroom.” – JHCM Parent SEE MORE STORIES Thank you Community Partners Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, Mountain Valley Glass, Owens Law Firm, and The Hub Bicycles When it comes to investing in the future of our community as well as the wellbeing of the employees we have today, there's no better choice than early childhood education. Parents who know their kids are happy, well cared-for, and developmentally on-track make more reliable and focused employees. And that's key to thriving businesses, a strong local economy, and a healthy community. THANK YOU CHAMPIONS! WILSON FAMILY FOUNDATION Owens Law Office Make a gift to Champions for Children today, and know that your contribution supports not one but three crucial early education resources in the valley.

As promised we will be hosting week two of our ARPA webinar series tomorrow (Friday) at 10 a.m., this time focusing on the guidance from the United States Treasury. We’ll be joined by Mike Wallace who is part of the legislative advocacy team for the National League of Cities. Mike will present a 30- minute overview to the Federal guidance and then will take 30 minutes of questions, so this is an excellent opportunity for you to bring your questions, possible spending ideas, etc. to bounce them off a subject matter expert who has been involved with this legislation since its inception. We hope you’ll be able to join us in person, but if not, we will of course be recording the presentation, and will send out a link for you to be able to review it at you convenience.

  • WPLI Resolution
    Matters from Staff Agenda Item # 17 Board of County Commissioners ‐ Staff Report Meeting Date: 11/13/2018 Presenter: Alyssa Watkins Submitting Dept: Administration Subject: Consideration of Approval of WPLI Resolution Statement / Purpose: Consideration of a resolution proclaiming conservation principles for US Forest Service Lands in Teton County as a final recommendation of the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) process. Background / Description (Pros & Cons): In 2015, the Wyoming County Commissioners Association (WCCA) established the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) to develop a proposed management recommendation for the Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in Wyoming, and where possible, pursue other public land management issues and opportunities affecting Wyoming’s landscape. In 2016, Teton County elected to participate in the WPLI process and appointed a 21‐person Advisory Committee to consider the Shoal Creek and Palisades WSAs. Committee meetings were facilitated by the Ruckelshaus Institute (a division of the University of Wyoming’s Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources). Ultimately the Committee submitted a number of proposals, at varying times, to the BCC for consideration. Although none of the formal proposals submitted by the Teton County WPLI Committee were advanced by the Board of County Commissioners, the Board did formally move to recognize the common ground established in each of the Committee’s original three proposals as presented on August 20, 2018. The related motion stated that the Board chose to recognize as a resolution or as part of its WPLI recommendation, that all members of the WPLI advisory committee unanimously agree that within the Teton County public lands, protection of wildlife is a priority and that there would be no new roads, no new timber harvest except where necessary to support healthy forest initiatives, no new mineral extraction excepting gravel, no oil and gas exploration or development.

  • Sensitive and Rare Plant Species Inventory in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges, Bridger-Teton National Forest
    Sensitive and Rare Plant Species Inventory in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges, Bridger-Teton National Forest Prepared for Bridger-Teton National Forest P.O. Box 1888 Jackson, WY 83001 by Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming Dept 3381, 1000 E. University Avenue University of Wyoming Laramie, WY 21 February 2012 Cooperative Agreement No. 07-CS-11040300-019 ABSTRACT Three sensitive and two other Wyoming species of concern were inventoried in the Wyoming and Salt River Ranges at over 20 locations. The results provided a significant set of trend data for Payson’s milkvetch (Astragalus paysonii), expanded the known distribution of Robbin’s milkvetch (Astragalus robbinsii var. minor), and relocated and expanded the local distributions of three calciphilic species at select sites as a springboard for expanded surveys. Results to date are presented with the rest of species’ information for sensitive species program reference. This report is submitted as an interim report representing the format of a final report. Tentative priorities for 2012 work include new Payson’s milkvetch surveys in major recent wildfires, and expanded Rockcress draba (Draba globosa) surveys, both intended to fill key gaps in status information that contribute to maintenance of sensitive plant resources and information on the Forest. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All 2011 field surveys of Payson’s milkvetch (Astragalus paysonii) were conducted by Klara Varga. These and the rest of 2011 surveys built on the 2010 work of Hollis Marriott and the earlier work of she and Walter Fertig as lead botanists of Wyoming Natural Diversity Database. This project was initially coordinated by Faith Ryan (Bridger-Teton National Forest), with the current coordination and consultation of Gary Hanvey and Tyler Johnson.

  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S. Keller were introduced to American Indian tribes in the 1600s, Native American visits to Yellowstone became more frequent.
