Conserving Landscapes & Lifestyles in Central Idaho
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 …
If you own property along Highway 93 North, Highway 93 South, or the Salmon River between Salmon and Morgan Bar you may have noticed something in the mail from us recently. Hopefully you’ve opened it, read it & returned the enclosed survey & if so, THANK YOU. If you haven’t returned the survey, please take …
Hunting season is in full swing here in Idaho, so we decided to was time to revisit our “fact or fiction” section with one of the most common questions we field this time of year. A conservation easement automatically grants public access to the property. FICTION.
A few weeks ago I was talking to someone new to Lemhi County, Idaho & rural living & she posed an interesting question I’d never really thought twice about before: “How do you know the seasons are changing in Lemhi County?” Now there’s always the obvious indicators of fall (if you live someplace with four …
While it’s a bit later than normal, our 2014 summer newsletter is now available for your reading pleasure. Our newsletter represents another great collaboration with our partners at Salmon Valley Stewardship (SVS).

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. Our most recent big new was the completion of our O’Neal Ranch conservation easement, but what …
You might remember back in September that LRLT board member Merrill Beyeler & his family were the recipients of a national award, the 2013 BLM Rangeland Stewardship Award. Merrill & his family were nominated by the Salmon BLM Field Office for this award & this video is the one that was submitted as part of …
As another busy year winds down at LRLT, we find ourselves starting in on all of those traditional end of the year projects.
