Kathryn comes to us with a background in public land protection and statewide environmental campaigns in Idaho and Colorado. She earned her Master’s degree in Environmental Science from the University of Montana in Missoula. Originally from Vermont, the lure of bigger mountains and deeper snow drew her west. When she is not working to protect the Big Wood River, she practices yoga and chases the perfect telemark turn in powder stashes close to her home in Bellevue. | 
| Diane Kahm, Development Assistant
dkahm@woodriverlandtrust.org
Diane moved to Hailey from Seattle in 2001 with her husband, John. She has a history degree from the University of Washington and was a travel agent in Seattle specializing in executive corporate travel. Before joining our staff, she volunteered regularly, and when the opportunity arose to join our staff, she jumped at the opportunity to make some small contribution toward land conservation in our beautiful Valley. Working part - time allows her the opportunity to do other things she enjoys - hiking, tandem bicycling, and gardening in the summer, cross country skiing and snow shoeing in the winter, and reading murder mysteries any time of the year. | 
| Robyn Watson, Director of Development

Now in her third year with Wood River Land Trust, Robyn’s career has included interior design, television production, and event coordination, but she finds non-profit fundraising the most fulfilling. Originally from Oklahoma, her love of the land comes from growing up riding horses on her family’s cattle ranch and spending her college years on Colorado’s ski slopes. Having visited the Wood River Valley on and off for the past 25 years, is combining her passion for fundraising and nature and loves making the valley home for her little dog, Dixie, and herself. |  | Keri York, Stewardship Coordinator
