Sandy Mason Memorial Fund

Sandy was one of the original conservation pioneers in Teton Valley. As a volunteer, then Executive Director, and then Board President of VARD, he was tireless in his efforts to protect the special place he and his wife Mary fell in love with fell in love with after spending their first winter up Horseshoe Canyon in 1982. He was an active member of the community and pretty much knew everyone in Teton Valley. He was known for his booming voice, rowdy sense of humor, ability to build bridges, and raw passion for people, animals, and the environment. He was truly a special person and will be missed. Teton Valley and VARD will not be the same without him.

Goodbye Sandy, you will be missed!

On Saturday, December 26th, at about 5pm, Saunders “Sandy” Mason died at home with his wife Mary at his side.
