🌿 Meet Nicole Cyr, Stewardship Coordinator at Teton Regional Land Trust.

Nicole grew up in southwest Colorado, where she developed an appreciation for nature, wildlife, and animals. She has been part of TRLT for five years, with a career in conservation that has taken her from Colorado to Idaho and included work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, and National Park Service. She earned a B.S. in Wildlife Biology with a minor in Environmental Science from Adams State University and has worked in wildlife habitat, natural resource management, and environmental compliance.

One of Nicole’s favorite parts of her work is the people. She enjoys connecting with landowners, land managers, donors, volunteers, and friends of TRLT who all play a part in making the Land Trust’s work possible.

Nicole is currently working toward a master’s degree in Ecopsychology at Naropa University. When she’s not working or studying, you can usually find her hiking, taking nature and wildlife photographs, thrifting, or playing with her four dogs. She also enjoys learning about natural remedies, responsible wild harvesting, and different healing modalities.

If you know Nicole, you’ve probably also come to appreciate her dry wit and perfectly timed sense of humor.

Yesterday, 1,160 pounds of old fencing came off the land near the Teton River.

For the fifth year, Teton Regional Land Trust partnered with Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation on a fence removal project. A crew of 11 volunteers, 3 JHWF staff, and 2 TRLT staff removed 0.75 miles of old fence line along the shared boundary between two conservation easements, which together protect 300 acres.

Thanks to everyone who came out to help with this year’s fence pull!
