23rd Annual Gros Ventre River Spray Days 2022
Over three days, partners with the Jackson Hole Weed Management Association (JHWMA) collaborate on an invasive weed project across the Gros Ventre River corridor. “The goal is to contain and reduce the spotted knapweed infestation that is thought to have started on the Gros Ventre River in the 1970’s…without this amazing group coming together for this team effort, we would be losing critical wildlife habitat to these invaders”
TCWP District Board puts the community first: The mill levy reduced and the cost-share program launched
The past few years in Jackson have been a rollercoaster of events. New home buyers are discouraged by the inflated market, renters who used to pay $1200 a month are now forced to pay $2200 for a tiny apartment, and long-time locals are faced with rising property taxes. But don’t lose hope. There are plenty of people who still want to see our community thrive and are willing to take action to make it happen.
TCWP’s Response to COVID-19
Teton County Weed and Pest District reminds that their mission strives for the protection of human health. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, TCWP’s mission stands more than ever before. TCWP will continually serve the community but from a safe distance. Staff are working hard to meet the community’s needs while ensuring a successful recovery from the pandemic.
TCWP Will Test Wastewater for COVID-19
A partnership between Teton County Weed and Pest District , the Teton County Health Department, and the Town of Jackson was created to determine a way to test the wastewater from the Town of Jackson for COVID-19. Weed and Pest worked with the Teton County Health Department to ensure they had the correct equipment and personal protective equipment to run the wastewater samples in-house.
