🚣🏼‍♂️Tinny got to tag along for a rowing lesson with TRLT staff, board member Ned Corkran, and long-time Land Trust supporter John McIntosh.

Our Director of Engagement, Kami Archibald taught Tinny about the conservation easements along the Teton River, and he was excited to find out that 29 miles of the river are permanently protected! Along the way, he spotted two moose, weathered a quick hailstorm, and did his part by helping bail rainwater out of the boat—turns out he’s a pretty handy tin can to have around. 😊

Thank you to everyone who joined us and Friends of the Teton River for an incredible Fisheries Program Tour! We’re so grateful to Friends of the Teton River for their leadership on this important work—and to our community for showing up with curiosity, questions, and care for our native fish.

🐟 The word "redd" comes from a Scottish term meaning "to clear or tidy up." In the context of fish, it refers to the nest that trout or salmon clear in the gravel to lay their eggs.

🐟 Six Springs an ideal spawning habitat because the spring water remains clean, cold, and consistent year-round; gravel beds are just right for trout to build redds; and there is less predation pressure means higher survival rates for eggs.

🐟 This is one of the last strongholds for Yellowstone cutthroat trout fishing. A decline in their numbers could trigger ESA protections—meaning no more fishing for this iconic species.

Together, we can help protect the health of our waters and the native fish that call them home.

🏃‍♂️🌄 Get ready for Wrun for Wray—a 2.9-mile hill climb at Grand Targhee Resort honoring the life and legacy of Wray Landon IV.

Whether you're running, walking, racing, or just there for the celebration, all are welcome to join the fun. All proceeds support the Wray Landon Legacy Fund at Teton Regional Land Trust, continuing Wray’s passionate conservation work.

Wray was a gifted naturalist and biologist who dedicated his life to protecting the wild places of the Upper Snake River Watershed. We lost him far too soon in 2010, but his impact lives on through this event and the land he loved.
