Our very own Nicole Cyr, Stewardship Associate talks about her day in the field!
Nicole Cyr said "during work this week I saw 8 conservation easement properties, spent 1 afternoon swan monitoring, drove 300 miles, and walked 12.5 miles... next week will likely be spent doing paperwork".
The Nature Conservancy published a blog written by east Idaho outdoor journalist Kris Millgate about our Upper Snake River Land Protection Partnership, a decades long effort to protect the South Fork of the Snake River and beyond. Thanks to The Nature Conservancy, The Conservation Fund, Bureau of Land Management, and Idaho Department of Fish and Game for working with us and landowners to protect more than 26,000 along this east Idaho gem.

🌊🦢 Exciting News from Teton Regional Land Trust! 🦢🌊
We wrapped up September with a spectacular moment—our 11th Trumpeter Swan release in the Teton Basin, part of the ongoing Trumpeter Swan Restoration Project that started back in 2013! To date, we’ve successfully released 55 Trumpeter Swans into our protected wetlands, a true testament to the power of collaboration. 🤝✨
On September 30th, we were joined by enthusiastic students and teachers from @learningacademyoftetonvalley , our dedicated Land Trust staff, Matt Proett from Idaho Fish and Game, Bill Long and his incredible crew from the Wyoming Wetlands Society, and local landowners, all coming together to release eight beautiful Trumpeter Swan cygnets. 💚
Before they took their first swim in the crisp waters, these majestic birds were equipped with Idaho Fish and Game leg bands and cutting-edge solar-powered Ornitela GPS-GSM neck collars. 📍 This technology allows us to gather valuable insights on their habitat preferences, migration routes, nest site selection, and flock dynamics.
A huge thank you to all our partners, donors, volunteers, and landowners who make this vital work possible. Together, we’re making a difference for wildlife and celebrating our deep connection to the land! 🌍
Did you know that our Swan restoration project depends on community donations? If you’re interested in supporting this important initiative, please visit Tetonlandtrust.org to learn more about how you can contribute to Teton Regional Land Trust. Your support makes a difference!
Have you spotted any collared Trumpeter Swans? We’d love to hear from you!

☀️A heartfelt thank you from the Teton Regional Land Trust to everyone who participated in the 7th Annual Greater Yellowstone Crane Festival last week! Your contributions were vital to the festival’s success.
From our amazing volunteers and partners to the enthusiastic attendees, landowners, artists, dancers, teachers, reporters, and staff, each of you played a crucial role in creating a memorable experience.
The sold-out crane tours, film screenings, artist workshops, and the exciting art auction showcased our collective effort and commitment to raising awareness about Sandhill Cranes and supporting the Greater Yellowstone Sandhill Crane Initiative.
We truly appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you all again next fall!

Calling all Teton County, Idaho residents! We encourage you to voice your opinion to the Teton County Board of County Commissioners about the revision of the County’s Natural Resource Overlay. The County Commissioners will be conducting a public hearing on September 20, 2024 at 2:30pm. You can attend the hearing in person or virtually through Zoom. Written comments are due to pz@tetoncountyidaho.gov by 5pm on Friday, September 13, 2024.
The recommended revisions to the 2006 Natural Resource Overlay utilize the newest and most credible wildlife data. In addition, an associated Wildlife Habitat Analysis Policy is being recommended to create standardization and enhance quality and objectivity of habitat analyses. Information relevant to the public hearing can be found at the following link, listed under “Natural Resource Overlay (NRO) Revision”: https://www.tetoncountyidaho.gov/departments/planning_zoning_department/pending_subdivisions.php
Teton Regional Land Trust is excited to host the Greater Yellowstone Crane Festival, which returns to Teton Valley in its seventh year from Wednesday, September 18 to Saturday, September 21. This annual festival aims to give attendees the opportunity to both view Sandhill Cranes and to learn about this iconic species through tours and viewings, workshops, film, and art.
The timing of the festival coincides with the fall pre-migration staging period, when Sandhill Cranes gather in Teton Valley before migrating south, and is designed to raise awareness of these majestic birds and the habitat upon which they depend. By learning about and connecting with Sandhill Cranes at the Greater Yellowstone Crane Festival, the Land Trust hopes attendees will leave inspired by the species and the natural world that surrounds us all.
