Teton Regional Land Trust (TRLT)

The Teton Regional Land Trust is dedicated to the conservation of Land through the following activities:(1) the trlt completes conservation easements and the acquisition of fee owned properties that protect open space acreage and works with realtors and landowners to find conservation buyers for at-risk properties. (2) stewardship. The trlt monitors use on properties protected by easement, prepares baseline assessments to support future monitoring and protection of conservation values, and assists landowners in developing conservation programs. (3) conservation awareness and Regional outreach. The trlt speaks to community groups about Land conservation opportunities, and provides educational training regarding the greater yellowstone ecosystem's resources and the importance of it's protection. (4) Teton basin trumpeter swan project: in 2013, the Land Trust teamed up 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. (5) greater yellowstone sandhill crane initiative: this project is securing and actively managing pre-migration staging habitat in Teton valley in order to sustain the largest pre-migration staging population of sandhill cranes in the greater yellowstone ecosystem.
