Summer Academy’s Amazing TreeFight Blog Posts

This summer, TreeFight and the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival collaborated to bring students from both the Jackson Hole High School and the Middle School into the whitebark forest atop Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. It was an initiative that JHWFF director Lisa Samford had dubbed ‘SummerQuest.’

After their experiences, students at the Middle School ‘Summer Academy’ (sounds better than summer school, right?) turned their thoughts into some truly amazing blog posts, written from the perspectives of the organisms most affected by the climate-induced whitebark destruction, including the trees themselves, grizzlies, birds, squirrels, and pine beetles. Click here to read all the entries themselves. Here are a few excerpts:

TreeFight at TEDx Jackson Hole

The inaugural TEDx Jackson Hole event took place at Jackson Lake Lodge on Oct. 2, 2011, as part of the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival. If you’re not familiar with TED, it’s a nonprofit organization founded in California 26 years ago that hosts conferences devoted to ‘ideas worth spreading.’ At these events, speakers give ‘the talks of their lives.’ TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Phillipe Stark, Sir Richard Branson, Isabelle Allende, and Logan Smalley, TreeFight friend and founder of Darius Goes West.

As TED has grown in renown and reach, it has created a series of independently organized TED events, called TEDx, and we were lucky enough to participate in the first one in this region.

So here’s our (first?) TED talk, which explains how we started, what we’re doing, and where we’re going, all in a slightly flustered seven minutes.

(It’s the same video at the top of this site, by the way.)

TreeFight 2011 Mission to Mt. Leidy

Last week, a small crew headed to Mt. Leidy to see how our trees fared since last summer, and to reprotect them with verbenone. We made a visual survey, and as far as we could tell, they’re doing great! It’s gratifying to see the huge ones surviving another winter.

I even thought we had a completely clean slate. But as we were driving out I saw a freshly hit tree (a brood tree as they’re called, since such a tree contains a brood of beetles) that we might have protected last year, or might have been just beyond the trees we did protect. It looked like a big one. Bummer. Especially since it’s now full of beetles that will emerge this summer.

So we need to get back out there and protect the rest of the 250-or-so trees left in our zone. If a bunch of people come, we can bang it out in a few hours then either hit the lake for a swim, climb Leidy or head back to town.

Here’s the facebook event.

Meet at 8:30 in the bank parking lot across from Pearl St. Bagels to carpool north. Bring good shoes, lunch, water, bear spray. We’ll be back mid-afternoon.

Fight for your forest!

TreeMiere 1.14.11

The Snaz

By Taylor Rees

Muster the troops. On Friday, January 14th, 2011, at Jackson’s Center for the Arts, TreeFight kicks off its second year. To get the momentum rolling, we’re joining forces with acclaimed artist Thais Beltrame, who will be celebrating the Whitebark Pine, object of our affections, with a wall sized mural in the Center gallery.

Here’s the link to the Facebook event.

360º Winds WBP


This is a test of the Microsoft Photosynth application, which will hopefully allow us to create a number of visually immersive, panoramic “plots” to accompany data from our protected standsin the Bridger Teton National Forest.

To view the forest, you have to download the Photosynth plug-in. Once the plug-in is downloaded, you can scroll across this panorama, zoom in and out, and view it in fullscreen, in fine detail. Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to work.

Please let us know in the comments whether or not Photosynth works for you. Thanks.
