Conservation easements succession planning information session Nov. 19 (posted 11/3/2025)
The Green River Valley Program (GRVP) invites local succession planning professionals, including attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, realtors, and tax specialists, and members of the public to attend an upcoming information session on conservation easements and succession planning resources in Sublette County.

The event will take place on Wednesday, November 19 in the Lovatt Room of the Pinedale Library from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm. The session will feature presentations from the Green River Valley Program on conservation easements and will share insights on the legal, financial, tax, and real estate considerations involved in these voluntary agreements, which allow landowners to permanently protect their property while retaining private ownership.

A panel discussion will follow featuring local producers, University of Wyoming Extension staff, and other professionals in multiple fields who will discuss their experiences in succession planning and conservation easements. This session is designed to foster dialogue between conservation organizations and the succession planning community. It aims to address the succession planning needs of agricultural operations in Sublette County and help professionals better understand how conservation easements can support their clients’ financial and legacy planning goals.

Members of the public are welcome to attend to learn more about conservation easements and connect with succession planning professionals.

Light refreshments will be provided. To RSVP, email Green River Valley Program Director Kerry Schultz at kerry@jhlandtrust.org.

The Way Back
Ski Club fundraiser (posted 10/26/2025)
The Sublette County Ski & Snowboard Association and Pinedale High School Ski Team held a fundraiser on Saturday, October 25th at the Pinedale Library. The event included a dinner by Pitchfork Fondue and a gear raffle.

There were two presentations during the evening. The first was by Jayne Thompson Nolan, (daughter of locals Stuart and Mary Thompson, former owners of White Pine Ski Area), who is the Executive Director of the American Avalanche Association and graduated from Pinedale High School and grew up skiing in Pinedale.

The second speaker was Amy David, also hailing from Pinedale, (daughter of Matt and Liz David), and went on to become a professional extreme skier. Amy showed her film, "The Way Back," retracing her David family local homesteading history and herself packing into the Wyoming Range to do extreme skiing the area mountains.

The night’s goal was to raise $4500, which will be matched by a local anonymous donor. All money raised goes to help fund needs of the local skiers.

The Gooch Family makes generous donation to the Museum of the Mountain Man (posted 10/12/2025)
PINEDALE, WYOMING – The Museum of the Mountain Man is honored to announce a generous $450,000 monetary donation from the Gooch Family, whose deep roots in Sublette County and appreciation for local history inspired their contribution. The donation will be used to build Fort Sublette for living history interpretation.

Bruce "Rusty" Gooch was raised in an Army Air Force family and experienced many parts of the United States during his youth. In 1953, his ties to Sublette County began when he started visiting his grandfather, Cortland Tisher, whose property adjoined the land where the Museum of the Mountain Man now stands. Those summer visits became an annual tradition that firmly established the Gooch family’s connection to the Pinedale area.

After graduating from college in 1967, Rusty moved to Pinedale, where he owned and operated the Triangle R Lodge—a well-known outfitting business and motel that served both locals and visitors. In addition to his work as an outfitter, Rusty also dabbled in a number of real estate and business investments throughout the area, reflecting his commitment to the growth and vitality of the community.

In 1974, he moved to Jackson before returning to Pinedale in 1986 with his then wife and two children, Lindsey and Wesley Gooch, both of whom attended and graduated from the schools in Pinedale. In 2010, he married Rosemary Turk, who, though not a local, quickly developed her own fondness for the area and its history—further strengthening the family’s ties to Sublette County.

"The Gooch Family believes the Museum of the Mountain Man is an incredible asset to our community—one that keeps the history and spirit of the area alive for generations to come," said Rusty Gooch.

The Sublette County Historical Society and Museum of the Mountain Man extend their sincere gratitude to the Gooch Family for their generosity and their ongoing commitment to preserving the stories and heritage that define this remarkable region.
