| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: WINTER AND SUMMER TRAILS:The Foundation funds grooming three times per week of the 14-mile stretch of road between Taggart Lake Trailhead and Signal Mountain on the Teton Park Road. Regular grooming allows visitors to easily explore on Nordic skis, snowshoes, or foot to experience this special season in Grand Teton National Park. In the summer months, the Foundation is funding a multi-year effort to renew key destinations along the Teton Crest Trail a 45-mile route through the parks high country that was originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Summer 2023 marked the fourth year of project work on the Crest Trail. Improvements were completed in the north fork of Cascade Canyon leading to Paintbrush Divide, making it more safe for hikers to this remote alpine area. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: WILDLIFE AND NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION: Climate change, invasive species, land use and development patterns, and changing visitation all threaten to disrupt the sensitive ecological relationships that characterize Grand Teton today. Projects supported by the Foundation's wildlife and natural resources initiative make significant strides toward ensuring the long-term ecological integrity of Grand Teton National Park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. In 2023, the Foundation funded efforts focused on gray wolf ecology, ungulate monitoring, climate change impacts, sagebrush/grassland habitat restoration, bear-resistant food storage lockers, and more. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Craig Thomas Discovery & Visitor Center: The Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center is a 22,000-square-foot facility that orients, educates, and inspires visitors to make discoveries of their own in the park. The result of an innovative public-private collaboration between Grand Teton National Park and the Foundation, the center has been welcoming visitors to Grand Teton since its opening in 2007. The FY23 work at the Craig Thomas Discovery Visitor Center explored the concept of rehabilitating the four visitor restrooms located within the building, which have degraded since the building opened more than sixteen years ago. The team worked on a redesign of the restrooms to update the facilities and improve the visitor experience. Construction documents were finalized but a contract was not awarded and the project is not moving forward at this time. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Ranger Support:The high peaks, mountain canyons, and glacial lakes of Grand Teton National Park draw recreationists from around the world who are eager to explore this iconic landscape. The Jenny Lake Rangers are the parks team of search and rescue professionals who provide a wide range of assistance to visitors in need. From injured climbers on the Grand Teton to hikers with sprained ankles only a few miles from the trailhead, the Jenny Lake Rangers are always ready to respond. Grand Teton National Park Foundation has provided private philanthropic support for this team since 2018. The main focus areas to advance ranger excellence in Grand Teton are to:Provide the highest quality training on a regular and recurring basis with an emphasis on search and rescueEnhance the park's ability to procure and replace specialized equipment, including personal protective equipment, and technology as it becomes availableProvide public outreach and education through programs and communication mediums to promote safety and prevent accidentsImprove facilities that support ranger operations and provide mental health support to all of Grand Tetons first responders OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: State Lands/Kelly Parcel:Totaling 640 acres, the state-owned Kelly parcel is the largest tract of unprotected land remaining within the boundaries of Grand Teton National Park. The elevated square-mile provides sweeping views of the Teton Range and includes critical habitat for numerous species of wildlife. The parcel is also located within a key migration corridor for pronghorn, elk, and mule deer. If the Kelly parcel is not permanently conserved as part of Grand Teton National Park, this inholding could be developed, risking the loss of vital habitat in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystemone of the last remaining, nearly intact temperate ecosystems on the planet. The inclusion of this 640-acre tract in Grand Teton National Park has been a significant conservation priority for the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior for decades. In 2023, the Foundation supported the park in its efforts to acquire this essential land from the state of Wyoming. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 9: Housing Study:The FY23 housing study initiated preliminary discussions for developing new housing in partnership with Grand Teton National Park. The effort included a conceptual study in order to assess feasibility and next steps. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 10: Bar BC Dude Ranch Preservation:Established in 1912, the Bar BC Dude Ranch is a central element of Jackson Holes rich cultural history due to its integral role in the dude ranching movement. Its fame spread far beyond Jackson through the reputation of its colorful owners and clientele that included Ernest Hemingway, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and William Faulkner. The Foundation has funded preservation of the two largest structures at the Bar BC, the Corse and Main cabins, for the last several years. In 2023, provided support to finish essential preservation work at the Main Cabin, enabling park visitors to safely experience this beautiful cultural gem. |
