CONSERVATION IN ACTION - On The Teller

The Teller is made up of 1,200 acres of diverse habitats in the Bitterroot River riparian corridor, including the river, streams, spring creeks, irrigation ditches, emergent and open water wetlands, uplands and agricultural fields. These resources are managed using a variety of methods to improve, restore, and maintain healthy land, water and wildlife habitat.

Management techniques includes habitat enhancement, integrated weed management, wildlife-friendly agriculture, education and research, active volunteer involvement, landowner outreach, and youth mentor programs. The Teller also carefully manages access (public and private) for fishing and hunting activities to maintain healthy wildlife populations and a quality recreational experience for visitors.

Projects are funded by generous donors, foundation and agency grants and volunteer participation. We invite you to get involved, learn more details about our habitat stewardship and take a look at our recent successes.
