THE TELLER TODAYPracticing Conservation in Western Montana's Bitterroot
Valley as a Model for Conservation WorldwideOur primary area of responsibility is restoring, enhancing and managing Teller’s 1,200 diverse acres encompassing rich farmland, upland habitats for wildlife, and a complex riparian system along the Bitterroot River. Our collective goal is to develop and launch a state-of-the-art conservation education program in 2009. Today, The Teller is a growing non-profit business governed by a diverse volunteer Board of Trustees. A small, professional staff manages the day-to-day operations, implements the Board-approved Strategic Plan and insures delivery of the mission. The Teller accomplishes its mission through support from a variety of sources, locally, regionally, and nationwide. These charitable donations and support come from individual contributions, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships and the dedicated volunteers who contribute across Teller operations. All are vital to the success and continuation of The Teller mission. With sustainable financial resources, The Teller will: - Execute ongoing wildlife habitat enhancement projects
- Manage and continue restoration of its wetlands and streams
- Launch the new conservation education program
- Expand its land base
- Complete capital improvements and facilities enhancement
- Serve as a model for others to follow
The Teller motivates people to action and connects them to the land. This is beneficial not only for wildlife habitat, but for social well-being in a Western culture that identifies so strongly with our conservation mission.Recent Articles about The Teller |
