🌿Meet Kristy Smith, Stewardship Associate at Teton Regional Land Trust.

Kristy joined the Land Trust after building a career improving wildlife habitat across the West. She earned a B.S. in Environmental Science from Humboldt State University in 2014 and has worked with state, federal, and nonprofit organizations on habitat assessment, vegetation analysis, and restoration. Since moving to Wyoming in 2018, she's found a home in the landscapes of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and plays an active role in monitoring conservation easements and caring for protected lands across Teton Valley.

When she's not out monitoring easements, you'll likely find Kristy mountain biking, trail running, rock climbing, backpacking, backcountry skiing, or identifying native plants. She's climbed two of Wyoming's three tallest peaks and summited the northernmost 13,000-foot peak along the Continental Divide in North America.
