Our History
For over 85 years, Grand Teton Association has been committed to inspiring deeper connection, better understanding, and enduring support for our public lands through long standing support and partnership with Grand Teton National Park, the National Elk Refuge and Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Cooperating Associations were developed early in the National Park Service history to provide low cost educational materials and support to visitors to public lands. Established in 1937, Grand Teton Association, was one of the earliest cooperating associations created. While other associations may fundraise or provide educational programs as part of their partnership with federal agencies, Grand Teton Association focuses exclusively on developing and providing educational products for agency partners. 100% of the profits from sale of these products is donated back to support agency educational, interpretive, and research initiatives.
