After a year away, WYldlife for Tomorrow was thrilled to once again take part in the Old Bill’s Fun Run and Giving Season this summer—and the results made every bit of effort worth it. This was our most successful Old Bill’s season to date, thanks to the generous support of donors like you!
A total of 58 individuals and businesses chose to support WYldlife for Tomorrow from among the 200+ participating nonprofits, raising over $72,000 for on-the-ground wildlife conservation in Teton County. With the Jackson Hole Community Foundation’s generous match, our total raised was just shy of $95,000!
Our Approach to Conservation
Wildlife conservation can feel like an overwhelming concept—there’s so much that needs to be done. To simplify our focus and amplify our impact, WYldlife for Tomorrow works within three core areas: wildlife research, habitat improvement, and connectivity.
Whether it’s delivering immediate benefits to wildlife and wild places or laying the groundwork through education to inspire tomorrow’s environmental stewards, WYldlife for Tomorrow puts Wyoming first. Donations during events like Old Bill’s help us turn our vision into real-world impact.
Local Projects Partially Funded by Old Bill’s Giving
Funds raised through Old Bill’s are designated for use within Teton County, and we’re excited to put this year’s earnings to work over the next year. Although these funds are restricted for use in Teton County, we anticipate meaningful ripple effects for wildlife populations across Western Wyoming.
In the past three years, Old Bill’s support has helped WYldlife for Tomorrow contribute to several impactful local efforts, including:
- Installation of a fish passage on Spread Creek to support Snake River cutthroat trout
- Wildlife-friendly fencing research and monitoring
- GPS collaring of the Jackson elk herd
- Sagebrush habitat restoration
- South Flat Creek channel restoration
- South Park wetlands enhancement
- Wildlife crossings
We extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us during this year’s Old Bill’s Giving Season. The number of donors and the funds raised validate our ongoing work to connect Wyoming’s recreation and hospitality industries with meaningful, results-driven conservation.
We’re already looking forward to next year and growing our herd of supporters even more!
