🌿 Meet Renee Hiebert, Land Protection Director at Teton Regional Land Trust.

For 21 years, Renee has been part of the Land Trust, building lasting relationships with landowners and working alongside them to conserve their land across eastern Idaho.

Before joining TRLT, she earned a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Kansas in 1998 and went on to work with the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and Targhee Institute as an archaeologist, wilderness trail worker, and naturalist in the Tetons, Wind River Range, and Eastern Sierra.

Renee’s family's land in northeastern Kansas is protected by a conservation easement, where she spent time exploring creeks, grass meadows, and wooded areas. That experience gave her an early understanding of what it means to care for land over time, and it continues to shape how she shows up for the people she works with today.
