Teton County Invasive Species met their match in 2023 with our committed team!

That is a LOT of work! Enjoy highlights from our 2023 Year End Report and read the report in full from the download link above.
October is Firewood Month!
October is Firewood Month! Did you know every person who uses the Bridger-Teton National Forest plays a vital role in protecting the forest land we all love? Enjoying a campfire at the conclusion of a day’s activities could bring some unintended consequences. Invasive and destructive pests can be transported inside of firewood that is brought in from out of the area.
It’s Not Too Late For Perennial Treatments!
The temperatures are dropping, the aspens are turning yellow, and it seems like summer flew by in the blink of an eye. How is it almost October already?!If you think it’s too late in the season to effectively spray your weeds, think again! It’s still a great time to spray perennial plants and see results next spring.
New to the Crew - Meet Marge!
We think it was fate that brought Marge Lingenfelter to TCWP! No joke. She stopped in town at the beginning of a road trip in March which was when Marge’s friend told her about an entomologist she knew from the local rugby team.

Sarah, one of our highway crew leads is back for her second season with us! While working in environmental restoration in Illinois, she heard about the opportunity to work in Wyoming.
Meet our Team, Jeremy Heyner
Jeremy initially moved to Jackson in 2016 for the winter season. He fell in love with Jackson and has been here ever since! (sound familiar?) Jeremy hates Oxeye Daisy, loves hanging out with his animals at home, brings a good sense of humor to the team, and cares about the beautiful place he now calls home. We’re glad you’re here, Jeremy!
