Happy Labor Day from Teton County W**d & Pest! 🇺🇸

Our office will be closed in observance of the holiday while our team takes a break from the w**ds, mosquitoes, ticks, and everything else that keeps us busy around Teton County.

Have a safe holiday and find some time to get outside and enjoy the places we all work together to protect! 🌲

🍸 It may share a connection with the famous drink, but this pest is nothing to toast to! Absinth wormwood is a prolific seed producer, pushing out native plants around Teton. This means more room for w**ds, less food for local animals, and a big headache for everyone.

👀 🌿 Help us keep the Tetons absinthe free! Be on the lookout for gray-green, silky leaves, branched stems, small yellow flower heads, and a strong sage-like smell when crushed.

📍 If you spot it, take photos, mark the location, and contact TCWP for help with identification and next steps. Early detection keeps this wormwood from worming its way farther in.

Give it your best guess. Hint: Many of them are invasive species found in Teton County, WY.. 😜
Leave your guesses in the comments below. We will reveal the answers on Monday, August 31st.
How knowledgeable do you think you are about these invasive plant/pest species?

Your dog probably has a job to do around your home. Maybe they’re a cuddle buddy, guard dog, furry doorbell, exercise buddy, accessibility partner, or, most importantly, your best friend. 🐾

But did you know dogs have jobs in national parks, too?

Here in Grand Teton, specially trained dogs work alongside park partners to help protect the places we love. This week, some talented pups are helping sniff out invasive plants, including salt cedar and perennial pepperw**d, along the Snake River corridor.

Their incredible noses can find plants people might otherwise miss, helping us protect native ecosystems.

A big thank you to and **dpest22 for bringing these four-legged conservationists to Grand Teton!

We call these unique dogs our bark rangers. 🐶🌿

Dogs aren't the only 4-legged friends making an impact in the fight against invasive species - our mule and horseback crews are on the trail! 🤠

🌿 Through the Jackson Hole W**d Management Association, these mule and horseback treatments help TCWP reach trails, slopes, and remote corners of Teton County where early detection and rapid response matter most. These horseback crews help us reach the trails, slopes, and remote areas where vehicles can’t go and backpack sprayers can only get so far.

We’re protecting Teton County’s wild places one trail at a time. 🐴

👋🏽 Meet Mark Daluge, our Assistant Supervisor at the District, he’s self-proclaimed “Organizer.”
Part 1: Mark explains the Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR) program and how it works to combat invasive species. He’s motivated by the progress he sees from year to year. He gauges the success of their efforts by the amount of herbicides used in the summer season compared to prior year. When measuring success for mosquito treatment, it’s a bit different, they gauge success by the number of skeeters caught in traps and that’s based on how well they treated the larvae pools. 🐛 🦟

Mark explains the District’s process when identifying 👀 priority species based on the region in the valley they are found.

Stay tuned for Part 2 for action packed drone treatment info.

🏞️ National Park Week is here!

From August 22nd-30th, we’re celebrating the places that ground us, inspire us, and connect us to our natural world. Here in Grand Teton National Park, that connection runs deep—shaping our local economy, our outdoor culture, and our everyday access to wild, open spaces. 🌲

✨ Some favorite ways to experience our park this week:

🥾 Taggart Lake is our favorite quick and classic hike with sweeping views and the peaceful lakeside payoff

🏔️ The Signal Mountain Trail is a moderate 6-7 mile hike with unmatched panoramic views of Jackson Hole and the Tetons

⛺ Colter Bay is the best for lakeside camping, kayaking, and easy shoreline exploring

Our team is proud of our ongoing, long-term, and meaningful work through habitat restoration projects, as well. Along Mormon Row, our team has been working with local agencies and community non-profits to help restore and protect critical ecosystems through sagebrush restoration, combating the relentless threat of cheatgrass and other invasive annuals.

A big thank you to our partners at Grand Teton National Park, Grand Teton National Park Foundation, and the National Park Service for their continued stewardship and commitment to preserving these landscapes for future generations.

It’s World Mosquito Day 🦟… and we know what you are thinking “Ugh.. why?!” Well, we want you to be aware of the most deadly animals 💀 in the Animal Kingdom! No, seriously… they spread vector-borne diseases 😷 responsible for 700k deaths per year! (Ahem.. humans 😓 are the second most deadly).

The District prioritizes your public health and we want to remind you what we do to help: we monitor, we analyze, we educate, we treat! We ALL work as a team to keep our community safe.
