Grand Targhee Resort Awards NOLS Teton Valley “Green” Grant
NOLS Teton Valley has been awarded $2,000 by the Protect Our Winters (POW) Foundation for installation of solar panels and educational project. These panels could provide up to 30% of electricity use at the NOLS location. The money came from Grand Targhee Resort employees who generously donated portions of their check to the foundation (these donations were also matched by the resort), and from guests of the resort who purchased tickets on Two-Fer days which included a $10 donation to POW.
The POW Foundation awarded $10,000 in total to environmental projects for non-profits that would benefit the local community. Other organizations received grants for water conservation education, a film on recycling, gardening education for school kids, and sponsoring one trail-work crew member.
