July 2008:

Saturday, July 12
Scenic Float Trip with Barker-Ewing -- Enjoy the sun, scenery and wildlife as we float from Wilson Bridge to South Park with Conservation Alliance naturalists. We will meet at 10 a.m. This is an easy-going float with great opportunities to view wildlife. Bring your bathing suit, rain gear, sunscreen, water, and your questions. Cost: $62, including lunch and tips.

Wednesday, July 16
Info Lunch: Canada Lynx and Snowshoe Hares in the Greater Yellowstone -- Biologist Nate Berg will talk about his research, which provides important insights on critical habitat designation for lynx. Berg says critical areas include Bridger-Teton National Forest lands, where the snowshoe hare has some of the highest densities in the western U.S. Bring a brown-bag lunch; we’ll provide beverages and dessert. Free, at noon at the Conservation Alliance, 685 S. Cache.

Thursday, July 17
In the Hoofsteps of the Pronghorn -- Join the Conservation Alliance for a rare opportunity to hike a portion of the path of the pronghorn, while raising money and awareness to promote wildlife conservation in Jackson Hole. Grand Teton National Park’s pronghorn antelope herd must navigate a 186-mile roundtrip migration each year between winter and summer habitat. However, their already-narrow migration corridor is increasingly at risk. The path can be rigorous, and our goal for the day is 10 miles. However, different starting points, lengths and multiple guides are possible based on group members’ hiking ability.
   We encourage participants of this fundraising field trip to obtain pledges per mile walked to help cover their participation cost, and to spread the word about the pronghorn (pledge forms are available at the ConservationAlliance office). Hikers will be treated to a get-together a few days in advance. Space will be limited to 12 hikers. $125 donation; lunch included.

Saturday, July 19
Living Green -- Nancy Taylor, author of “Go Green,” will host a tour of her green home and discuss how to best live a sustainable, environmentally friendly lifestyle. Moreover, she will speak about green building products while using her home as a classroom. Cost: $15.

Munger Mountain Biking Adventure -- Outdoorsman and lifelong valley resident Anthony Stevens will lead a mountain-biking trip up Munger Mountain, where you can take in views of the valley, discuss ongoing Forest Service policy revisions, and enjoy the company of new friends.
