Because of the rare plant and wide-ranging animal species that depend upon it, the Teton River Basin has been ranked the number one private lands conservation priority area within the entire Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem for its combination of irreplaceable ecological value and vulnerability.

Steeped in agricultural tradition, farming and ranching remains significant in Teton Basin, benefitting both people and wildlife.

The South Fork Snake River corridor from Swan Valley to Menan Buttes is one of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem’s most outstanding fish and wildlife resources, including the cottonwood gallery forest along this reach of the river, named the number one wildlife resource in Idaho.

Because of the combination of rare plant and animal populations in the area, the Henry’s Fork River is ranked as the number two conservation priority within the entire Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem for its irreplaceable ecological value.

The Island Park Caldera, the Henry’s Lake Flat, Shotgun Valley, and the south slope of the Centennial Range make up a large and diverse landscape, where there are is great value for migratory and wintering elk and sage grouse, raptor migration corridors, and expansive habitats of value to many species.

A few visitors caught on camera! Our trail cameras offer a glimpse of the wildlife moving across the lands we work to protect at Teton Regional Land Trust.
Thanks to our community for supporting our work and helping keep these lands and wildlife corridors connected so wildlife can continue to move across eastern Idaho.

🌿Meet Niah Pennington, Stewardship Coordinator at Teton Regional Land Trust.
Niah grew up in Helena, Montana, where time spent exploring lakes, forests, and wildlife with her family sparked an early interest in conservation. She earned a B.S. in Wildlife Biology with a minor in Climate Change Studies from the University of Montana in 2014. After working as a seasonal wildlife technician on the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, she moved to Jackson in 2018 to work for the Bridger-Teton National Forest. She later earned her M.S. in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology from Colorado State University, completing her degree in 2024.
Niah joined TRLT in May 2024 and now works with landowners and the stewardship team to care for conservation easements and support the long-term protection of wildlife and natural landscapes. She has a particular soft spot for the small, often overlooked animals that are easy to miss, especially frogs, toads, snakes, and bats.
Outside of work, Niah enjoys spending time around all kinds of animals, both wild and domestic. It’s always a joy to spend the day with Niah out in the field, where she has an incredible knack for noticing the often overlooked animals and plants that the rest of us might miss.
