Description
Tensleep Preserve will be open to the public during the day on Thursday through Sunday starting mid-May until October 1, 2024.
The heart of Tensleep Preserve is a 12-mile stretch of Canyon Creek, slicing deeply through the southwestern flanks of the Bighorn Mountains. Ancient pictographs and Native American gathering sites reveal a long history between people and the land. Tensleep is ecologically rich and serves as a living laboratory for conservation science and stewardship best practices.
Why TNC Selected This Site
This region is changing, as more people move to and travel to the area. With the influx of people comes new development and roads, which threaten to fragment the region, disturb natural plant communities, block wildlife migration corridors and suppress natural fire processes. Tensleep offered TNC an opportunity to preserve and protect a critical piece of natural land within this landscape.
