‘It Just Seems Alive’

Jackson Unpacked

KHOL reporter Jenna McMurtry tells us Teton County is proposing changes to its Fire Protection Plan, that among other things, expands the boundary of what’s considered wildland urban interface. Robb Sgroi of the Teton County Conservation District, Todd Fitzgerald of a local tree service business and Jackson Fire Marshall Raymond Lane provide insight into why and how residents can make their homes more fire resistant.

And in partnership with Storycorps — KHOL is hosting a series of conversations between candidates running for local office and a constituent they aim to represent, finding common ground. Tune in to hear Jacksonite Jessica Baker and Jackson Town Council candidate Kevin Regan in the third edition of our series produced by Alyson Spery.

Also, the Mountain West News Bureau’s Hanna Merzbach takes us to Pinedale and Victor where some like Doug Rellstab, Lindsey Love and Will Haywood are building houses out of straw bales.

Lastly, KHOL Music Director Jack Catlin sat down with Fire In The Mountains music festival founder Jeremy Walker who says he’s disappointed to be leaving Teton County. Still, he’s excited about the possibilities about a new location on the Blackfeet Reservation in Northwestern Montana.
