It has been nearly five years since I moved back to Pocatello
to take the job as Executive Director of the Land Trust. Since
then, I have regularly reported on our growth and development.
Today, we have our feet under us, and my emphasis is less on
how much we have grown, but how we are going to continue
growing. We have developed
our Board, hired new staff,and expanded our volunteer
base. We have quadrupled our
protected acreage from 892
in 2007 to 3,293 in 2012 with
enough projects in the pipeline
to quadruple that number again
by this time next year.
But to keep pace with this
growth, it is even more impor-
tant than ever to get the support of our members. They say
it takes a village to raise a child. In the case of the Land Trust,it will take our community to raise this Land Trust to its full
potential.
Why do people invest their time and resources into their
local land trust? For many the answer lies in the world they
want to leave their children and grandchildren. They want to
know they took steps in their lifetime to ensure that wildlands
and wildlife will thrive in Southeast Idaho for generations to
come.
For others, ensuring that we protect our local working farms
and ranches is paramount. Our work with farmers and ranch-

ers supports local agricultural markets and suppliers.
Still others support the Land Trust because they under-
stand that the majority of our regions private land is inour river valleys and along our streams. These areas
connect our public lands and provide important cor-
ridors for fish and wildlife. Protecting our scenic vistas
and abundant wildlife encourages sustainable tourism and
related activities.
Altogether, fulfilling our mission to protect and enhance
natural areas, wildlife habitat, and working farms and
ranches, now and for future generations, not only ensures
vibrant wildlife and productive lands for years to come, it
maintains the quality of life we often take for granted.
With so many new projects ahead, and almost 4,000acres to monitor and manage, we need to increase our
staff, expand the expertise of the Board and broaden our
volunteer base. This is my call to you. If you are already
a contributing member, thank you! Your annual contribu-
tions are why I can so proudly discuss our accomplish-
ments. If you are already a volunteer, your service is why
I can proclaim another successful year in the field and
another great fundraiser!
If you havent joined yet, or are thinking of volunteer-
ing, now is your chance to jump in and help catapult us
to the next level. We have as many needs as opportuni-ties, and I hope you will take this opportunity to become
involved.
Jselin was recently hnred as the recipient

Jessica McAleese has hadmany roles in her home-
town of Pocatello. Onerole has been to oper-ate a Community Shared
Agriculture farm, calledLadyBird Farms with herpartner Jeremy Shreve.
Another role has been toserve as Vice President ofthe Land Trust Board.
Jessica has served on theLand Trust Board for three years. She has enjoyed serving the LandTrust because, she says, It is an organiza-
on that provides a connection betweenPocatello and landowners. This connections necessary in order to preserve both landnd a livelihood. Jessica is referring tohe livelihood carried out by the workingarmers and ranchers within our region.
he believes that this connection betweenhe community and the individuals whore working the land is a critical part of
preserving open space. Jessica does not seeand being protected without the support of the community, and theommunity cannot attempt to protect the land without the support
of the farmers and ranchers.Operating a small farm, Jessica has experienced the outside pres-
ures that are threatening our local farms and ranches. For example,
essicas Passin r Small Farms
Jessica noted some of the challenges presented to fers who are not born into a family run farm. On
these challenges is the difficulty of accessing land. Tis simply less and less land available to farm. In addimany of the farmers and ranchers who have been e
lished for generations arebeing driven out of theiroperations as a result of therising costs of land due todevelopment pressure. As
Jessica puts it, The poten-tial for the loss of produc-tive farmland is staggering.She and Jeremy have beensearching for the past yearand a half to find a small
piece of ground within ourregion to farm; however, allof the land is priced for residential development, wcosts too much for LadyBird Farms to operate e
tively.Jessica believes the community values within SouthIdaho reflect a desire to see open spaces, have accelandscapes, and see working farms and ranches withinlandscape. But, she states that, If we close our eyesdont act to preserve, the present landscape will cont
to disappear.
Wh We Are
The potentialfor the loss of
productivefarmland isstaggering.
If we close oueyes and dont ato preserve, thpresent landscawill continue t

52% in the last 30 years.Collectively, there are 5,976,187 acres (9337 square miles) in our
service area. Approximately 51% is owned by federal or stateagencies, with the remaining land in private ownership. A very smallpercentage of the overall private land is permanently protected,despite its importance. Much of the private land is found in rivervalleys and along tributaries. These areas are critically important tothe fish and wildlife, as well as the water quality of our region.
The Land Trust is working hard to maintain the character of our
regions landscape. The high desert of the Great Basin includesgrasslands, forests, wetlands, and shrublands vital to fish, wildlife,and our communities. The Bear, Blackfoot, Portneuf, and Snake flowthrough our seven counties providing habitat for countless speciesand recreational opportunities for our community members andvisitors.
The economic drivers across Southeast Idaho that effect our con-servation work vary by county; overall, private sector jobs accountfor about 50% of employment with government, agriculture, traveland tourism, and mining up 19%, 14%, 13% and 4% of the remain-ng jobs respectively.

Partnership Update
Landowners and conservation advocates recently toureda local farm with Representative Mike Simpson to discussfuture funding for working lands with conservation andheritage value.
The talks focused on the success of local projects thathave received federal funding through Farm Bill ease-
ment programs and the Land & Water Conservation Fund(LWCF). In addition, the group spoke about the importanceof long-term tax incentives. These incentives can help keep
the land in the hands of family farmers and ranchers, and inproduction for generations to come.
I am a strong believer in the need to protect and preserveour farm and ranch lands to ensure that rural families areable to pass their operations on to future generations, saidCongressman Simpson, Chairman for the Subcommittee onInterior and Environment. This committee has jurisdiction
over funding for a number of programs critical to IdaI believe the public-private partnerships that are help
to protect these lands are important moving forward aI was pleased to hear firsthand from those who have se
these partnerships work effectively.The tour featured Barbara Farms & Ernies Organ
which is owned andoperated by Fredand Judy Brossy. TheBrossys have farmed
their ground for morethan 20 years. TheBrossy family agreed
with the formerlandowner and theNatural ResourcesConservation Service
to put in place a con-servation easement
that protects prime
farm soils, wildlifehabitat and waterquality in the Little
Wood River.Other speakers
included Greg Brown, who spoke on the value of LWfunding to protect lands crucial to the National PService at Hagerman Fossil Beds and Minidoka NatioMonument; Tom McFarland who spoke about the imp
tance of Farm Bill conservation easements for worklandowners; and Greg Burns who spoke about long-te
tax incentives helping family farms.I was thrilled to be in the company of so many
Idahos conservation leaders and landowners wilto share their successes and challenges, said JosMatkins, Executive Director of Sagebrush Steppe LaTrust and Chair of the Idaho Coalition of Land TruWorking together, we are cultivating common grouacross political and cultural backgrounds to protect
wild spaces and working lands that make Idaho sucwonderful place to live, work, and play.
I am a strongbeliever in the nee
to protect andpreserve our farmand ranch lands toensure that rural
families are able topass their opera-
tions on to futuregenerations.

The Land Trust is pleased to announce the completion ofour latest conservation project that is comprised of threeconservation easements along a tributary of the BearRiver near Preston, Idaho. These easements permanentlyprotect 1,033 acres of working land and wildlife habitat.ncluded within the easements are 25 acres of wetlands,250 acres of farmland, and 600 acres of open space andrangeland. These easements also protect approximatelyone mile of Mink Creek from being subdivided or devel-oped.
The Land Trust has worked with the Christensen Familyto protect their family ranch. The Christensens are awarethat keeping land intact is becoming increasingly important
in Southeast Idahoas developmentfragments familyfarms and critical
wildli fe habitat.The conservationeasement terms
will allow the fam-ily to continue

resources found on the land. This includes spawning habitatfor Bonneville cutthroat trout, and other critical habitat forsharp-tail grouse, elk, mule deer and other species.
Fifty percent of the funding for the conservation easementswas provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service
through a Farm and RanchlandProtection Program grant. TheFarm and Ranchland ProtectionProgram is a federal program that
is instrumental in protecting wild-life habitat and working farms andranches across the country.
Additional funding was pro-vided by the Franklin Soil andWater Conservation District, andthe Environmental CoordinatingCommittee (ECC), which is astakeholder group that approvesexpenditures of PacifiCorp Energyhydro project environmental
enhancement funds. The ECC willalso provide ongoing land steward-ship funding for this project. The
stewardship funds have been established to improve waterquality and native fish populations in Mink Creek.
This project perma-nently protects 25 acres
of wetlands, 250 acresof farmland, and 600
acres of open space andrangeland.

Ensuring PerpetuityLand Trust Alliance Launching Terrafirma
he Land Trust works hard to maintain good communication with our ease-
ment landowners. We have never experienced a major violation against the
erms of any of our easements; however, the Land Trust recognizes that as
me goes by and land changes ownership, the risk for a violation increases.
his is why we are taking another step on the path to perpetuity by enrolling
n a new visionary program that will provide conservation defense insur-
nce.
The Land Trust Alliance - an umbrella partnership comprised of over,600 land trusts nationally - has formed Terrafirma. Terrafirma is an insur-
nce program owned by member land trusts that will provide all land trusts
nrolled in the program with funds sufficient to defend their conserved
nds from legal challenges.
This is the first far-reaching, national initiative to guarantee the perma-
ence of conservation efforts by organizations like SSLT. We are proud to
ave committed to Terrafirma to ensure that the beauty and vital resources
f our preserved lands live on far into the future.
