The Teton Regional Land Trust conserves agricultural and natural lands and encourages land stewardship in the Upper Snake River Watershed for the benefit of today’s communities and as a legacy for future generations. As a community-based conservation organization, we work with private landowners to conserve agricultural and natural resources that are critical to the region’s communities – both human and wild. Through several avenues we are able to offer willing landowners options regarding their land and legacy. Teton Regional Land Trust was founded in 1990 by a group of citizens concerned about the rapid loss of open lands in Teton Valley, Idaho. It has matured into a successful, well-respected land conservancy with a professional staff, diverse board of directors and an involved membership, that serves a six-county region. Our service area contains some of the most resource-rich, private land habitats in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and has experienced some of the highest growth rates in the nation. Though meaningful accomplishments have been made, thousands of critical acres remain vulnerable to the expanding development occurring throughout the region. This combination makes our work ahead both crucial and urgent.
