When Passion Thrives, Strong Communities Bloom

At Greater Yellowstone LegacyWorks, we’re dedicated to nurturing our beautiful Teton Region and the broader Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Our approach is all about collaboration, bringing together diverse voices and resources to address large-scale conservation and community resilience challenges that no single organization can solve alone. Our track record speaks volumes, as we’ve successfully tackled significant regional issues through teamwork and shared purpose. We believe in the power of community and the potential of each individual, particularly those who have not yet had the opportunity to shine. Together, we’re focused on creating lasting impact through our community-driven efforts.

Building Resilient Communities Together

True strength comes from unity—working together to navigate challenges like community and disaster resilience. By supporting conservation, strengthening local economies, and empowering communities, we ensure every voice is heard, and every person has the tools to thrive.

Farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our communities, yet industrial agriculture and global supply chains create vulnerabilities. In the East Yellowstone and Teton regions, we unite stakeholders to champion food and agriculture, protecting working lands and ensuring food security.

Access to water availability and quality is essential for both people and nature. In Teton Valley, we’re bringing together local irrigators, agencies, and conservationists to find solutions that sustain agriculture, replenish groundwater, and protect our rivers for future generations.

Wildlife and biodiversity are vital to healthy ecosystems and resilient communities. In the East Yellowstone and Teton regions, we collaborate with landowners, nonprofits, and agencies to safeguard endangered species and enhance habitats. Together, we create a thriving future for people and nature alike.

Teton Regional Initiative

For over a decade, LegacyWorks has fostered collaborative solutions across wildlife, water, climate, and community resilience in the Teton Region. Our partnerships drive impactful, on-the-ground projects that sustain the landscapes and livelihoods that make this place extraordinary.
