Historical Note

The Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance, originally named the Jackson Hole Alliance for Responsible Planning, worked on conservation issues, including water protection; preservation of recreation lands and wildlife habitat; and responsible, sustainable development. The Jackson, Wyoming-based organization was founded in 1979. It opposed big-box stores, blocked a nuclear waste incinerator from being located 100 miles from Jackson, and worked to reintroduce wolves into the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, among many other initiatives.
