The Jack Creek Preserve Foundation is an environmental nonprofit focused on wildlife conservation and outdoor education to foster a personal connection with nature. It oversees the Jack Creek Preserve, a 4,500-acre protected landscape in the Madison Range of southwest Montana, located between Ennis and Big Sky, created to permanently protect habitat and to form a migratory corridor between two sections of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. The foundation supports landscape management and conducts education and research programs aimed at increasing biodiversity and improving wildlife habitat, with a core emphasis on protecting regional wildlife and teaching conservation. The organization traces its origins to 2005, when the Fossel family established both the Preserve and the Foundation to promote wildlife conservation and youth education. It operates as a nonprofit recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) entity and is funded entirely through donations and volunteers. Based in Ennis, Montana, the foundation's work connects habitats from Yellowstone National Park to the Gallatin Valley and northward by maintaining habitat and offering educational opportunities focused on wildlife management and land stewardship.
