A Memorial Day Tribute to Heroes of Conservation

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. Joselin’s passion for the environment was infectious and she spent many hours connecting youth with nature and protecting iconic wildlife such as Sandhill Cranes.

Earth Day means dizzying array of activities this week

There are tons of different ways to get involved in this year’s Teton Valley Earth Day celebration. Teton Valley Earth Day, a relatively young multi-day collaborative event hosted by a group of local nonprofits, was forced to go virtual last spring, but the event organizers have decided this year that it’s safe (and fun) to host small in-person workshops and projects across the valley to celebrate community and service. Some of the service projects happening this week include an in-town clean-up hosted by Downtown Driggs Association, a “help recyclers” morning with Teton Valley Community Recycling at the county transfer station, community garden preparation with the Teton County Fair Board and 4-H (see below), a highway trash pick-up with Rotary Club, electronics recycling opportunities at the library, and a Tetonia Elementary School garden rejuvenation with Full Circle Education.
