This Memorial Day as you hike mountains, fish the Southfork, or float the Teton River, please remember a few people who have given us this gift of open spaces and wild places. Recently, we lost three Heroes of Conservation who gave tirelessly so we could enjoy our outdoor experiences for generations to come.
Ron Rope an Environmental Scientist at INL was a true collaborator, skilled at bringing people together to protect wildlife corridors. Ron served the Teton Regional Land Trust (TRLT) from 2000-2012. Ron died in April 2020.
Joselin Matkins was the Executive Director of TRLT and sadly passed away in January of this year. Joselinâs passion for the environment was infectious and she spent many hours connecting youth with nature and protecting iconic wildlife such as Sandhill Cranes.
