Making a Difference for Wildlife

in Teton County and Beyond

Meg and Bert Raynes worked in countless ways to encourage local citizens to understand and conserve this region's incredible wildlife. After Meg's passing, Bert initiated the Meg and Bert Raynes Wildlife Fund to provide small but pivotal grants for wildlife-related research and education projects. 

Over the past 15 years, supported by generous gifts from many like-minded citizens, the Meg & Bert Raynes Wildlife Fund has grown into a significant source of support for new and established scientists, citizen science, and education about wildlife. The Raynes’ vision lives on, that science and citizen awareness of our irreplaceable wildlife resources are needed to conserve wildlife for future generations.
