If you’ve ever flipped through the channels on a Sunday evening looking for something to watch, it’s possible you’ve seen Outdoor Idaho on PBS. Each show features something unique about Idaho from around the state & topics range from wildlife to history to industries & beyond. Something they’ve been doing for over 32 years & …
We’ve been fortunate to be getting a lot of great coverage of the conservation work being completed in the Upper Salmon over the past little while & were thrilled to see yet another great story pop up on Facebook last night courtesy of Life on the Range. Ever heard of them? It’s an educational project …
LRLT has long maintained that ranching & conservation go hand in hand & ranchers & conservation groups here in the Upper Salmon are proving that on a daily basis. But this trend isn’t just unique to our valley, it’s happening throughout the West, including with our neighbors just over the mountain in Montana’s Big Hole …

Our newsletter represents another great collaboration with our partners at Salmon Valley Stewardship (SVS). One of the most challenging aspects for us when it comes to a newsletter is having content on a regular basis, we’re always …

If you’ve paid the tiniest bit of attention to what we’ve been up to for the past 2 1/2 years, you’ve probably noticed a few reoccurring themes–ongoing projects, organizational development & fundraising, of course. But there’s been one other big theme–ACCREDITATION. See way back in January of 2012, we embarked on a process known in …
If you’ve been following LRLT’s work for even a little while, you may have noticed that we’re a little secretive sometimes & that we sometimes go for a year or more without making any big announcements about completed projects.
