Teton Canyon – A Wild Legacy at Risk
“It is not a ditch; it’s not a delivery system for water. It’s a wild living place, full of wildlife.” –Michael Whitfield, Conservation Biologist – Diggs, ID
“This river is a hidden jewel for many of the residents of Idaho. The Teton River and the tributaries to the Teton River were found eligible for inclusion in the Wild & Scenic River System. This is a strong hold for Yellowstone cutthroat trout…” –Monica Zimmerman, BLM Recreation Planner
“There is a huge amount of water, most years, that flows right down the river and on down to the ocean. We don’t need any more water in the ocean, it’s full.” -Dell Raybould, Idaho State Representative, District 34.
Rep. Raybould serves as the Chairperson on the Environment, Energy, & Technology committee as well as a member of the Resources & Conservation committee in the Idaho State House.
