🌿 Meet Kim Trotter, Executive Director at Teton Regional Land Trust.

Kim first joined the Land Trust as an intern in the late 1990s, later serving as a Land Protection Specialist before returning as Executive Director in 2022. Over three decades, her career has focused on conserving working lands, wildlife habitat, and rivers throughout the Northern Rockies. She earned a B.S. from the University of Puget Sound and a Master of Environmental Management in Resource Ecology from Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment.

Growing up in eastern Idaho, Kim spent much of her time floating and fishing the South Fork and Henry's Fork. Years later, after building a career in conservation across the Northern Rockies, she returned to the Land Trust where she first got her start. Before coming back in 2022, she and her family spent a year traveling by RV throughout the U.S. and Canada.

When she's not at work, you'll likely find Kim hiking, running, biking, or spending time on the river. (If you've been lucky enough to share a boat with her, you already know she's a phenomenal rower.)

This summer series, held on Thursdays, aims to provide our supporters with an opportunity to learn more about our conserved properties and answer any and all questions you may have while enjoying a fun and refreshing walk outside. The walk will take place at a different property each month for as long as the weather holds into the fall. We look forward to showing you first-hand the impact of your important membership support!

July’s Thursday Walk will be at Three Forks, a recently conserved property in Driggs, Idaho.
