Healthy Lands Are Essential for Our Communities and Ecosystems

At the East Yellowstone Regional Initiative, we believe in the vital connection between working lands and the health of both our communities and wildlife. Focused on Wyoming's stunning Absaroka Front, our mission is to blend conservation with economic resilience, recognizing the essential role that private lands play in sustaining wildlife habitats and promoting landscape stewardship.

A Vision for the Future

Imagine a future where the remarkable landscapes of the Absaroka Front are ecologically intact and thrive alongside thriving ranching operations. This vision is centered around ensuring that future generations experience the natural richness we cherish today. Our commitment to this vision fosters strong, trusted relationships with landowners and partners as we work together to weave conservation into the very fabric of our community.

Embracing Richness Through Collaboration

The Absaroka Front is not just a landscape; it’s a tapestry woven with ecological and cultural richness that also holds key contributions to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. We understand that acknowledging this depth drives our work. 

We listen closely to landowners, gaining insight into their unique challenges and aspirations. By sharing conservation opportunities tailored to their needs, we empower them to embrace stewardship solutions that simultaneously benefit their lands and local wildlife.

Science Meets Local Knowledge

Making science-based conservation decisions informed by local stewardship knowledge is at the heart of our approach. This ensures that our strategies are practical and respect the longstanding traditions of the Absaroka Front. We are dedicated to enhancing the economic viability of working lands, supporting healthy wildlife populations, and fostering a resilient community.

Addressing Wildlife Conflicts

We understand that wildlife conflicts on working lands can pose significant challenges. That's why addressing and reducing these conflicts takes priority in our efforts. By serving as a hub that connects landowners and managers with valuable resources, we aim to mitigate challenges while enhancing the overall viability of these essential lands.

Educating for a Sustainable Future

Education plays a pivotal role in our mission. We are committed to educating our communities about the invaluable contributions of working lands to wildlife habitats. Through shared understanding and awareness, we aim to foster a collective commitment to sustaining the environment for years to come.
