Short Description of Activity
Cutting and removing fencing on property conserved by the Teton Regional Land Trust
Reflection/Evaluation
This property bordered the Teton River and associated wetlands, and removal of the fence meant that wildlife would not have to navigate a dangerous fence to access the river. One could almost imagine the relief of a mother moose when she realizes that her calf can easily make it to dinner!
