🌿 Meet Lydia Hanson, Staff Attorney and Conservation Project Manager at TRLT.

Lydia grew up in Teton Valley, spending her childhood running around Grand Targhee and Teton Canyon. After traveling through Europe and South Africa, she earned degrees in International Studies and French from the University of Idaho before heading to Washington, D.C., for law school and a master’s degree in Global Environmental Policy. Her background in environmental law, along with her love for conservation and her home valley, eventually brought her back to Teton Valley. She’s now been part of the TRLT team for over two years.

Outside of work, Lydia enjoys Nordic skiing, hiking, backpacking, reading, dancing, and spending time with her fuzzy creatures. She also has a couple of unusual claims to fame: she once went trick-or-treating on an airplane and can do a pretty good imitation of a grouse mating dance.

If you’ve had the opportunity to meet Lydia, you’ve likely been treated to her hilarious jokes and warm energy. She brings plenty of both to the TRLT office! ... See MoreSee Less

As the days grow shorter, there’s still time to enjoy a walk along the Teton Creek Corridor Pathway before it closes for winter.

Just outside Driggs, the pathway follows Teton Creek through important wildlife habitat. The Teton Creek Corridor is an important part of our local landscape, and caring for it takes a community effort. Through the Teton Creek Collaborative, Teton Regional Land Trust and our partners from Friends of the Teton River, Teton Valley Trails and Pathways, and Valley Advocates for Responsible Development, work to keep the trail clean and safe while respecting the wildlife that use the corridor. Each May, volunteers come together for a community cleanup to help care for the pathway as it reopens for the season.

A seasonal reminder: The pathway closes December 1 to protect big game during migration and winter range, reopening May 1. Dogs are welcome on leash during the open season. ... See MoreSee Less
