🌞 It’s been a little too hot for Tinny to be out in the field, so this week he’s been staying cool in the office and learning about the reaccreditation process from Finance and Operations Manager Katie Gabel-Patterson.

Every five years, land trusts go through reaccreditation with the Land Trust Accreditation Commission—a thorough review that makes sure we’re doing everything we can to protect land, wildlife, and water for the long term. That includes how we care for conservation easements, uphold promises to landowners and donors, and manage finances.

It’s a big deal—and we’re proud to be part of it. Reaccreditation helps build public trust, improves our practices, and strengthens our ability to conserve the places we all love. 💚

🌱Join us for a free speaker event on farm succession planning and soil stewardship with landowners Tim Brockish and farmer Daniel Wilcox.

Tim and Wendy Brockish have conserved 106 acres in Madison County and are working with Daniel, their lessee, on a five-year plan focused on improving soil health and promoting sustainable agriculture. Their story is a powerful example of non-family farm succession, collaboration, and investing in the next generation of farmers.

Come be inspired by their journey and learn how conservation and regenerative agriculture can go hand-in-hand. 🌱

🗓️ July 24th at 6 PM!

📍 Seniors West of the Tetons Community Center
60 S Main St #350, Driggs, ID

🦢 Aerial Surveys of Trumpeter Swans in Teton Basin

We are excited to announce that LightHawk has partnered with us to conduct Trumpeter Swan monitoring in Teton Basin this summer. Area residents should be aware that they may see an unmarked, slow, low-flying helicopter flying over the landscape periodically throughout the summer (July to September). Throughout the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, LightHawk partners with 300 volunteer pilots to significantly enhance the rate and effectiveness of conservation work. To learn more, please visit lighthawk.org. We are grateful for this partnership and excited to gather important data for the Teton Basin Trumpeter Swan Restoration Project, which was started in 2012.

The purpose of these aerial surveys is to document the summer residency of Trumpeter Swans in Teton Basin. Information gathered from these surveys will help us to understand Trumpeter Swan population numbers and habitat use.
To learn more about the Teton Basin Trumpeter Swan Restoration Project, you can visit our website (tetonlandtrust.org), call the TRLT office at 208-354-8939, or send an email to Nicole Cyr, Stewardship Associate, at nicole@tetonlandtrust.org.
