The Campaign for Our Valley The Campaign for Our Valley is a 25.5 million, three year private fundraising effort made by the Jackson Hole Land Trust in order to purchase conservation easements for the remaining 25,000 acres of unprotected ranch land in Jackson Hole. Ten families in Jackson Hole own these acres and are continually pressured to sell their land for development purposes. The Campaign for Our Valley started in April of 1999 as a result of rising concern about the major development occurring upon Jackson Hole’s remaining open spaces. This major development has occurred in many other Western resort towns as well. Due to the Land Trusts fundraising efforts, the Southern portion of the Hansen Ranch became the first campaign project completed in August of 2001, protecting 181 acres of ranch land. Their second success was the purchase of the Valley Springs Wildlife Refuge and Public Park in December of 2001, protecting 47 acres of open land.
