Trout Friendly Lawns
As part of its mission, Wood River Land Trust works cooperatively with private landowners and local communities to protect and restore the Big Wood River. Because lawn care practices can impact the health of the Big Wood River, we launched our Trout Friendly Lawn Program in partnership with local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and others.

Annual Heart of the Valley Contest
This year we are asking you to describe the ways in which the waters of the Valley awe, inspire, and nurture you.  Whether you like to be on the water or in it, viewing it from a distance or just as far as the end of your fishing rod, we can all agree that the Wood River Valley’s most valuable asset is the water that flows through it.

Get to Know Your Closest Neighbor: A Guide for Floodplain Homeowners
"Get to Know Your Closest Neighbor: A Guide for Floodplain Homeowners" has helpful information on the role of the floodplain in the river's health and on the uses of native plants to beautify and protect stream banks. The brochure can be a valuable resource this spring as you plan improvements like new decks, additional landscaping, and other projects.
Be a Master Naturalist
This spring, the Wood River Land Trust and partners are sponsoring the Wood River Valley Chapter of the Idaho Master Naturalist Program. Our goal is to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to actively work for smart stewardship of Idaho’s natural environment. Participants will receive training in an array of natural history topics such as geology, riparian restoration, and ecosystem management. Included in the local program is a commitment to 40 hours of volunteer service with a sponsoring organization. These volunteers will primarily be involved with environmental education about the Wood River Valley’s natural history and how to protect it. See news & upcoming events for this program >>
Be Outside Idaho
In 2006, Richard Louv, author of the highly praised Last Child in the Woods, called for a national campaign to “Leave No Child Inside.” Louv co-founded the Children and Nature Network (C&NN) to reconnect children and nature and cure what he termed Nature Deficit Disorder. C&NN is now an international movement to give children "opportunities to experience and learn from nature during their growing year..."

In Idaho, 2009 has been designated "Be Outside Idaho - Children in Nature" year. Go to www.beoutsideidaho.org for 101 Things to Do Outside with your child. The activities are all simple yet engage a child in nature. The Wood River Land Trust supports this vital program and urges you and your child to Be Outside!
