Species Spotlight on Mule Deer: Mule deer (Odocoi

Species Spotlight on Mule Deer:

Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are the most common large mammal in Idaho. Their scientific name reflects one of their most recognizable features – its large, "mule-like" ears. Mule deer range is characterized by beautiful but unforgiving landscapes - their numbers have always been determined by ever-changing weather patterns, food sources, and predators. The margins for mule deer survival are slim, and today they face additional threats like loss of winter range, obstacles along their migration routes, poaching, and invasive plants.

During the winter, deep snow makes it difficult for mule deer to access food so they migrate between 50 and 75 miles from higher mountain elevations into valley bottoms and south-facing hillsides. If deer eat well during the summer and are nice and fat when winter comes, they can usually survive severe winters. But, if mule deer cannot find high-quality nutritious food in the summer, no matter how good the winter habitat may be, they may succumb to the harshness of winter. During the summer and spring, mule deer may be found on mountain slopes where shrubs, flowering plants, and grasses grow. Aspen groves have many flowering plants, called forbs, which are important for mule deer, especially nursing does, and the trees offer shelter for the fawns. Deer digestive tracts differ from cattle and elk in that they have a smaller rumen in relation to their body size, so they must be more selective in their feeding. Instead of eating large quantities of low-quality feed like grass, deer must select the most nutritious plants and parts of plants. The quality of food a buck eats determines how large his antlers will grow.

When alarmed, a mule deer does not “flag” its tail (like a white-tailed deer), but often bounces away in a motion called “stotting,” in which all four hooves push off the ground at the same time. With each bound, a mule deer may jump as high as two feet and as far as 15 feet! This action requires a lot of energy, which reminds us that we need to give mule deer every chance to survive our harsh winter by observing and appreciating them from a distance.

We recently released six Trumpeter Swan cygnets on

We recently released six Trumpeter Swan cygnets onto a protected wetland in Teton Valley and have observed them bonding with a wild swan💚

We would like to remind hunters to know your target. There is no hunting season for Trumpeter Swans in Idaho Trumpeter Swans are considerably larger than geese and adult swans have solid white wings and bodies. Young swans, called cygnets, are medium gray with a pale belly and wing lining.

Most of our released Trumpeter Swans are marked with large green neck collars with white alpha-numeric codes, but this year’s released cygnets have a green leg band instead. If you observe green-collared or banded swans in our region, please notify the Teton Regional Land Trust. For more information or to support the project, please visit www.tetonlandtrust.org or contact Nicole Cyr via email at nicole@tetonlandtrust.org.

It's the perfect time of the year to check out our Outdoor Classroom at Woods Creek Fen! Located west of the City of Driggs on Bates Road, the Fen is a 60-acre property owned and managed by the Teton Regional Land Trust and is open to the community. The Fen is a great place for families looking to spot a moose or birds, or anyone looking for an out of the ordinary adventure! Because the conditions are so unusual in Woods Creek Fen, you can find more rare plant species there than in almost any other kind of wetland in our area.

The Fen features several educational kiosks, a picnic table, a memorial bench, and an elevated observation deck with a powerful spotting scope for observing the numerous animals and birds who call the Fen home. We love getting photos of people experiencing it - thank you Diane and ABC after school program!

LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE CRANE ART SCULP

LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE CRANE ART SCULPTURE UNTIL 5PM - Check them out at the Farmers Market in Driggs this morning! You can vote and bid on your favorites in our Crane Art Auction on our website: www.tetonlandtrust.org
(link in bio)

Our Crane Fest Art Auction supports Crane Conservation including our Grain for Cranes project. These awesome photos are from our game cams on our food plots.

Each fall, Sandhills from around the Greater Yellowstone, including Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, congregate in large numbers in Teton Valley to build up the energy reserves needed for their long migration to their wintering grounds because of the valley’s unique alignment of wetland roosting habitat and farmland. As a result, the Valley hosts the largest pre-migration staging population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and one of the most important staging areas for the Rocky Mountain Population of Sandhill Cranes.

This alignment of resources is unique and irreplaceable. With development pressure increasing across the region, the farm fields that Sandhill’s rely on for food are becoming fragmented and disappearing, replaced by homes and subdivisions. To ensure that Sandhill’s have the food resources they need, the Teton Regional Land Trust and the Greater Yellowstone Sandhill Crane Initiative members have partnered with landowners on the Grain for Cranes Program. This annual program establishes annual food plots with willing landowners to ensure adequate crane food resources for staging Sandhill Cranes.

You can contribute directly to our food plot program by donating $250. Your contribution enables us to grow, cut, and leave one acre of barley, the preferred food resource for staging Sandhills. Your support of this program ensures that they leave the valley in prime condition to survive their long journey south.

Learn More About Our Cranes in the Classroom Progr

Learn More About Our Cranes in the Classroom Program

Over the past 30 years, the Land Trust has been working to protect important habitat for Sandhill Cranes. In order to continue the momentum, we have debuted a Cranes in the Classroom program that aims to educate and inspire our local youth.

The goal of the Cranes in the Classroom program is to nurture an appreciation of Sandhill Cranes while engaging elementary-aged students in the protection of our natural resources. Students learn how to identify cranes, learn about their family bonds, their habitats, and diet, and why they are important in human history and culture. Students also learn why cranes sing and dance to communicate and why people around the world celebrate them.

Central to our presentation is highlighting the interaction between cranes and humans over thousands of years, what cranes represent to different cultures, and how cranes are depicted in art in many time periods and cultures of human history, including today.

We are excited to develop our Cranes in the Classroom program into a virtual presentation and with DIY options available to all students and educators who are interested. We will offer a recorded presentation and slideshow that can be watched online, as well as a script, PowerPoint presentation, suggested art projects, and a list of materials for those teachers who would like to present the information themselves. All of these components can be found on our website (link in bio): www.tetonlandtrust.org

We hope students will carry their new knowledge of cranes through their childhood years and stay engaged with these magnificent birds throughout their lives.

We would especially like to thank the Hamill Family Foundation, Intermountain Aquatics, and the Meg and Bert Raynes Wildlife Fund for providing support for the Cranes in the Classroom programming.

To learn more about this program visit our Cranes in the Classroom webpage on our website. To have a Teton Regional Land Trust staff member present a live Zoom lesson with your students, please reach out to hilary@tetonlandtrust.org

Celebrate Cranes September 14-19 during our virtual Crane Fest!

Crane Festivals and Celebrations are traditionally held around the world and our own week-long crane festival kicks-off today! Cranes have inspired humans to celebrate their migrations for generations. Cranes have been tied to human settlements through agriculture for thousands of years. In early writings, they were likened to gods and spirits. They are cultural symbols across the world, representing health, happiness, peace, longevity, honor, loyalty, wisdom, love, marriage, intelligence, and celebration of life. We are excited to celebrate virtually this year. Each day this week, we will be posting videos, stories, and activities on our website: www.tetonlandtrust.org (link in bio)

We are proud to announce the Land Trust's 30th ANN

We are proud to announce the Land Trust's 30th ANNIVERSARY LAND STEWARD AWARD

Blaine and Nancy Huntsman became stewards of the Fox Creek Ranch 23 years ago. As they came to understand the connectivity of the water, land, and wildlife, they began to envision ways to enhance that connectivity. Their first easement with Teton Regional Land Trust was in 2007 and last year, the family put an additional 100 acres under easement to further protect this thriving riparian landscape.

The Huntsman family worked for thirteen years through four phases of permitting to restore more than two miles of Fox Creek and a half-mile of Little Fox Creek. They planted thousands of willows and other native vegetation, excavated a series of three large wetland ponds, creating more than 30 acres of open water and marsh. All of this worked to the benefit of aquatic, riparian, wetland, and upland habitats.

The restoration work has made an impact. In June 2019, a report found that Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout numbers went from 14 per mile to 936. All trout species went from 420 per mile to 3,867. Otter and mink returned to the creek and increasing numbers and varieties of birds are nesting, foraging, and staging throughout the year on Fox Creek Ranch.

"When we began, we really had no idea of the scope of the undertaking, the underlying science, or the regulatory world. Let’s just say, we learned a thing or two. We began as earnest landowners, and by the time we finished, thirteen years later, we had made new friends, broadened our vocabulary, and gained a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of water, land, and wildlife. We set out to transform a creek and along the way we transformed our family as well." - Nancy Huntsman

Blaine's son, Beach Huntsman, moved to Fox Creek Ranch to manage the ranch and make his home in the valley. He learned how to care for the property, to guide volunteers on restoration projects, and graciously shares the restored beauty and abundant wildlife of the ranch with Land Trust supporters through walking and cross country skiing tours.

We are so excited to announce our 30th ANNIVERSAR

We are so excited to announce our
30th ANNIVERSARY VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION AWARD!

We are honored to present this award to Wray and Lani Landon. The Landons began volunteering for the Land Trust in 2006 when their son, Wray IV, started as an intern with our organization and they have been an important part of our Land Trust family ever since. They have volunteered on conservation and stewardship projects, at events, and as the organizers of our annual Wrun for Wray Targhee Hill Climb fundraiser.

After their son tragically passed away in an avalanche at the young age of 30, Wray and Lani established the Wray Landon Legacy Fund (WLLF) to honor and extend the work he loved at the Land Trust funding things such as our summer internship program, fence removal projects, ecological monitoring including Yellowstone cutthroat trout, Sandhill Cranes, and songbirds, educational materials and the viewing platform at Wood’s Creek Fen. Over $128,000 has been raised to date to honor Wray's Legacy.

“We are so very grateful to everyone who has donated to Wray’s Legacy Fund in the past and to those who continue to remember Wray every year. It puts a smile on our faces and gives us a big lift when we hear someone has donated again.” - Wray and Lani Landon

The popular Wrun for Wray Targhee Hill Climb is an annual fundraiser for the Land Trust, through the WLLF, chaired and organized by Wray and Lani. They do everything from marking the racecourse and arranging food and drinks for the racers to securing sponsors and raffle prizes for the best raffle around!

We are proud to announce
our Teton Regional Land Trust
30th ANNIVERSARY ED HILL CONSERVATION AWARD

In the 1980s, Ed Hill cooperated with Teton County Soil Conservation District to develop a fencing and water development demonstration area to control cattle grazing within his Teton River pastures. He saw change coming in Teton Valley and got involved as a member of the Teton County Planning Commission and as an early Teton Regional Land Trust director.

In recognition of Ed’s commitment to conservation and the goals of the Land Trust, the Ed Hill Conservation Award is presented to an individual or group who exemplifies an active interest in the conservation of land and community in the Upper Snake River Valley.

For our 30th Anniversary, we wanted to underscore the importance of landowners to our mission. Without landowners willing to voluntarily conserve their land for future generations, we would not be celebrating over 36,000 acres of working farms and ranches and wildlife habitat forever protected. To acknowledge the vision and commitment of our landowner partners, we are pleased to present the 2020 Ed Hill Conservation Award to the 130 landowners that granted a conservation easement on their family’s land.

Mike and Sheralee Lawson are one of those families. To watch a video interview with them about why they decided to protect their land along the Henry’s Fork and to check out our great 30th Anniversary online auction and celebration, go to our website: www.tetonlandtrust.org(link in bio)

The Great American Outdoors Act has passed! The House and Senate, with bipartisan support, have passed the bill to fully and permanently #FundLWCF! Great News💚

Thanks so much to our own Congressman Mike Simpson for co-sponsoring and introducing the bill to the house!

Here's what he had to say about it:
“I am thrilled to see this legislation on its way to President Trump’s desk where he will sign the bill into law,” Simpson said in a news release. “Not only does this bill support hundreds of thousands of jobs, but it protects and maintains our public lands for generations that aren’t even born yet. I grew up on the doorstep of Yellowstone, and so many communities in Idaho benefit from the outdoor access and the economic impacts of our public lands. The Great American Outdoors Act ensures that projects are vetted by Congress annually, funds the programs without using taxpayer funds, and continues important state-based projects like greenbelts, parks, and community pools. Bottom line, this bill is great for Idaho and public lands across this country.”

The Greater Yellowstone Trumpeter Swan nesting pop

The Greater Yellowstone Trumpeter Swan nesting population is struggling due to a lack of habitat and security. To combat these threats, the Teton Basin Trumpeter Swan Project started in 2013 in collaboration with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Wyoming Wetlands Society, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Trumpeter Swan Society, and a local family to release Trumpeter Swans onto a protected wetland in an attempt to establish breeding pairs and increased summer residency in Teton Valley.

To date, we have been able to release 23 Trumpeter Swans on protected wetlands in Teton Valley. Look out for swans with a green neck collar - those are the ones released through this project.

Your support will ensure we can release more swans onto Teton Valley wetlands! Support the Trumpeter Swan project today by donating to us through the 2020 Tin Cup Challenge:
