Episode 155 – Recreating a Jackson Hole Landmark with Dory Sumner of the Astoria Park Conservancy
In this week’s episode of the Jackson Hole Connection, Stephan visits with Dory Sumner. Dory is the Manager of Programs and Development at Astoria Park Conservancy which are stewards of the Astoria Hot Springs and nearly 100 acres of wildlife habitat and wetlands.
In this episode, Dory shares the history of Astoria Hot Springs and how the new hot springs compare to the old facilities that closed in 1998. Dory also talks about the nearly 100 acres of habitat and the plans for developing more recreating spaces for the community. Stephan and Dory discuss what the hot springs mean to the community and the importance of saving recreation land for future generations.
