Teton Valley Trumpeter Swan Project
WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS AND THE COMMUNITY TO BRING NESTING TRUMPETER SWANS
TO TETON VALLEY
2016 Trumpeter Swan Release
2016 kicks an exciting year for the Teton Basin Trumpeter Swan Reintroduction Project. In 2013, TRLT
released five cygnets (70 day old swans) at the Lazy K
Marsh in Teton Valley. The goal of this project is to establish a nesting pair of Trumpeter Swans in Teton Valley.
To accomplish this, TRLT and partners have embarked
on a 10-year project that involves releasing young swans
on protected wetlands. These wetlands are fenced to
familiarize the young swans with the wetland, in hopes
that they will return to mate and nest in future years. It
typically takes 4 to 5 years for swans to reach maturity, so
nesting isn’t expected just yet. That said, 10 swans have
been released over the past 3 years. These swans have a
green band located on their foot or neck that will enable
the Land Trust staff to identify them. We are asking the
community to help us spot these birds in hopes that they
will call Teton Valley home. Please visit our website for
more information on what to look for and how to report
Trumpeter Swan sightings.
Swan Release.
Four cygnet trumpeter swans were released in May of
this year. Check our website to learn about the release,
or to watch the release online.

Wolverines are the largest terrestrial member of the weasel family,
weighing up to 40 lbs. Extremely thick fur and enormous paws
enable wolverines to thrive in high alpine environments across
northern latitudes around the globe. In fact, they are so well adapted
to subzero temperatures and deep snowpack that they do not need
to hibernate, remaining active year-round. In addition to thriving
in some of the harshest environments, wolverines have a reputation
for their athleticism and ferocity. They have been seen galloping
over mountain peaks and couloirs like a horse and they can leap
from trees like cougars. Wolverines can take down larger prey and
often challenge bigger predators like bears and wolves for carcass
meat. These fierce creatures

high peaks of the
Tetons, the Wolverine
remains one of the
most elusive mammal
species on earth.
Wolverines often travel over
15 miles a day in search of
food and patrol tremendously
large home ranges. The average
range for a male wolverine is
between 300-500 square miles and in some cases up to 800 square
miles. The wolverine uses its scent to mark its territory, refusing to
share space with other wolverines of the same sex. This leads to low
population densities averaging around 5-10 wolverines for every
600 square miles.
Harvest and habitat loss has reduced wolverine populations
significantly since the 1900’s. Wolverines remain exceptionally rare
due in part to their low population densities and the fragmentation
of the vulnerable high alpine habitats where they thrive. Change
in weather patterns, resulting in shorter and warmer winters, has
also compromised wolverine habitat. Wolverines are considered
a top conservation priority and are listed as a Species of Greatest
Conservation Need by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
Although wolverines typically remain at high elevation, juvenile
males, (who are most likely to disperse) journey throughout low
elevation areas, valleys, and plains on a quest to establish new
home ranges in unoccupied mountainous habitat. Supporting land
protection in our region is crucial to maintaining dispersal corridors,
year round habitat, and prey for wolverines. We are committed to
helping the species rebound to pre-1900 population levels. Tips From the Land Steward

I SPY WILDLIFE!
The Land Trust’s New
Perspective on Our
Property
Game cameras have become
increasingly popular for multiple
reasons in recent years. As the Land
Trust’s Natural Resource Specialist, Bill
Dell’Isola explains, “Game cameras are
a popular piece of equipment as they
can be used for ecological research,
scouting for potential hunting and/
or photography spots, as well as just
for fun as landowners may enjoy
observing the daily routines of wildlife
on their property.” The game camera
at TRLT’s headquarters on Six Springs
Ranch provides a means to collect
useful natural resource information
while limiting our human impact and
disturbance to wildlife using the area.
The information we gather furthers
our understanding of how important
the Teton Creek corridor is for local
wildlife. Head to the photo gallery on
our website to see what we spot!
As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, we may catch ourselves
dreaming of cold lemonade and barbecues shared in the company of family and
friends. But late spring also signals it is time to get to work preparing ourselves
and our equipment for another busy field season. Planning and executing an
invasive weed management plan is an integral activity which helps increase the
quality of yields, and thus maximize the profitability of agricultural operation.
SUGGESTED PREPARATION ACTIVITIES:
• Plan, Plan, Plan. Time is of the essence once the field season begins, so set
some time aside beforehand to plan your treatments. Select the appropriate
treatment based on the severity of the infestation. Mechanical, chemical, or
biocontrol treatments, used independently or in combination, have proven
to be effective methods for eradication.
• Clean and organize your equipment to ensure it is in proper working
condition.
• Educate yourself concerning the appropriate methods of use for your
chosen eradication method. The labels on each respective herbicide you
plan to utilize will give you important legal information regarding the
correct uses, application types, and quantities per acre to apply.
• Calibrate your equipment to ensure the application rate is correct for
each herbicide. Contact your local county weed superintendent, herbicide
representative, or TRLT to learn more about the importance of proper
calibration.
• Monitor your properties to keep a close eye on the prevalence of invasive
weeds on your land.
• Time your treatments appropriately. The most effective time for treatment
is when plants are young and rapidly growing.
Lastly, don’t forget to get the barbecue cleaned and ready for the first summer
gathering!
The Land Trust is eager to help landowners manage
invasive weeds on their properties. To learn more, or to
borrow a backpack sprayer, stop by our office.

The Goble Family - Respecting History, Honoring Tradition
A success story of multiple land use and responsible stewardship.
Tucked into Medicine Lodge Creek Canyon in the
Red Conglomerate Peaks, Medicine Lodge Ranch is
one of Teton Regional Land Trust’s first and largest
conservation easements. The Ranch encompasses
a diverse array of habitats ranging from sagebrush
uplands to lush wetlands and riparian corridors. These
landscapes provide pristine natural habitat for a variety
of wildlife populations, a productive rainbow trout
fishery, and an award-winning buffalo husbandry
operation.
Historically, the lands surrounding Medicine Lodge
Ranch were summer grounds for the Sheepeater
Indians, members of the Shoshone/Bannock tribe.
Historians believe the Sheepeater Indians to be some
of first residents of the area, dating back 8,000 years or
more. In the late 1880’s, the canyon was homesteaded
by various pioneers. These homesteaders were lured
by the canyon’s vital role as a corridor for transporting
goods in the silver mining days. The canyon sits along
400 miles of wagon trail stretching between Corrine,
Utah and Virginia City, Montana. At the tender age
of 14, a freight team driver named William Colson
homesteaded the middle section of Medicine Lodge
Creek Canyon, providing a much-needed refuge from
the hardships of the trade route. The cabin constructed
by the William Colson family is still part of the main
house at the Ranch today. Though the railroad soon
became the preferred freighting method, the pioneers
and freighters who homesteaded the canyon decided to
remain.
Beginning in 1990, Michelle and Dr. Marlowe Goble,
a licensed helicopter pilot, orthopedic surgeon, and
rancher, began the process to acquire what is now
12 SPRING/SUMMER 2016 TETON REGIONAL LAND TRUST
Medicine Lodge Ranch. In 1995, Dr. Marlowe and
Michele Goble had a vision “to create a preeminent
ranch balancing the needs of the land, livestock, fisheries,
and wildlife.” This vision inspired them to undertake
progressive changes to their property by reserving 2,700
acres for conservation easement. In the early 2000s, the
Gobles took further steps to promote the protection of
vulnerable habitats by fencing off the majority of 25
miles of streams. Water gaps are now used to permit
stock access to water. In the 15 years since completing
the work, the Gobles have seen their stream and fishery
habitat revitalized. The family planted numerous willows
in riparian areas to improve habitat quality, and as a
result, American beavers have returned to construct
dams, further improving habitat quality and diversity.
The Medicine Lodge drainage now boasts healthy
herds of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, and moose in
numbers not seen for over 30 years. New bird rookeries
have also been observed with Great Blue Herons, hawk
species, Bald Eagles, and Golden Eagles returning to the
property.
The Gobles’ original vision has slowly morphed into
a reality over the past 21 years. Their progressive
land use perspective and responsible stewardship has
helped the Ranch become a model for multivariate
land use in southeastern Idaho. It serves as an example
of a successful partnership between the Goble family,
Teton Regional Land Trust, FSA, and other public and
private partners. The future of the ranch looks bright
as the third generation of the Goble family learns
to incorporate the tools and methods of sustainable
resource stewardship into the thoughtful management of
Medicine Lodge Ranch.
Letter From the President
R O B I N A N D E R S O N ST E P S I N TO A N E W R O L E
2016 marks an important time in Teton Regional Land Trust’s history. It marks the end
of our first 25 years protecting agricultural lands, wildlife and fish habitat, and wild and
beautiful places in Eastern Idaho. It also marks the beginning of our next 25 years, 50 years,
75 years...protecting land in perpetuity.
As I begin the first year of serving as President of our Board of Directors, I am humbled by
the significance and responsibility of that word, perpetuity. Unlike almost all other non-profit
organizations, we have a mandate to steward our protected agricultural and habitat lands...
Robin Anderson, Board President
forever. This means making certain we are financially viable, professionally and ethically
run, strategic and thoughtful, holding the best interest of the land, and the legacy of the landowner, utmost in our minds.
Teton Regional Land Trust is dedicated to all these things. We have a staff that any environmental organization would envy.
We have a board that is engaged, enthusiastic and committed. But most importantly, we have you, our neighbors and friends,
fellow citizens of Eastern Idaho who sincerely understand the importance of our work and without whose support our work
would not continue.
I am genuinely excited about the opportunities that 2016 and beyond will bring.

The Land Trust is excited to bring the background and experience of Karen Rice and Arantza Zabala to our Board of
Directors. Karen, an Idaho Falls native, brings decades of conservation experience having recently retired from the Bureau
of Land Management. “The highlight of my career was working with land trusts to conserve key private properties that
intermingle with public lands. Since 1996 I have worked with the BLM’s Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Teton
Regional Land Trust, The Conservation Fund and The Nature Conservancy to form an award winning partnership that has
conserved 90 private properties valued at approximately $65 million along the upper Snake Rivers’ corridors and at Henry’s
Lake.” Her extensive experience as a wildlife biologist and program manager brings a wealth of knowledge to the position.
Arantza brings abundant knowledge and experience in the field of Human Resources. She has a broad expanse of community
service roles, including working with the Idaho Workforce Development Council, the Breaking Boundaries Board, the
Idaho Migrant Council and the Industry Liaison Group to name a few. In her free time, Arantza enjoys snowboarding,
mountaineering, hiking, mountain biking, waterskiing and SCUBA diving. Welcome Karen and Arantza!
We are also excited to welcome two new staff members to our team, Christine Ford as Operations Manager, and Kimberly
Holmes as our new Stewardship Coordinator. To learn more, visit our website at www.tetonlandtrust.org.
