“If you want to learn what someone fears losing most, watch what they photograph.”

Our workshops depend on healthy ecosystems and communities. It’s on us to take care of them.

In addition to being outspoken on conservation issues locally, 5% of the annual profits from Teton and Yellowstone tours will be donated to local non-profits doing work in conservation and environmental justice.

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is home to one of the last fully in-tact ecosystems left in the lower 48 states and sits on sacred land of 27 indigenous groups throughout the Mountain West. Native people sustainably stewarded the wildlife here for thousands of years before they were forcefully removed from the land. Despite geographic separation these cultures remain important stakeholders in its conservation today. 

Non-profits and campaigns we currently support:
  • Greater Yellowstone Coalition
    • GYC is a large organization focused on the protection of the Greater Yellowstone’s Land, Water, Wildlife, and Tribal Heritage. Among many programs in each of these categories, GYC has helped to organize intertribal meetings to raise native voices in Yellowstone conservation.
  • Wyoming Wildlife Advocates
    • WWA is an advocacy group fighting primarily for the protection of wolves, grizzly bears, and elk in a state where they are heavily persecuted outside of park borders. They also support JH Bear Solutions, a group helping improve coexistence with grizzly bears in the Jackson Hole valley.

If you have indigenous ancestral ties to the Greater Yellowstone Region, please let us know and we will offer discounts on your workshop with us.

Supporting Conservation & Communities

Reducing our carbon footprint

The tourism industry accounts for 8% of global emissions. We want to help change that.

We track our carbon footprint on a monthly basis and buy carbon offsets that support projects around the world that are taking carbon out of the atmosphere.

Offsets are an imperfect solution when compared to direct emissions reductions at the source. That’s why we plan to take steps to reduce our direct emissions too, such as choosing eco-friendly merchandise, supporting other green businesses and hotels, and our long-term goal of operating electric tour vehicles as soon as a vehicle capable of handling our tours becomes available feasible.

We will keep you updated as we continue to search for ways to reduce our footprint and ensure a bright future for the living things on our planet.
