Scott Boettger,
Executive Directorhis past October marked the 15th anniversary o my arrivalin the Wood River Valley and my introduction to the newlyormed Wood River Land Trust. My love or the valley has
grown with the passing o each and every year.I am convinced that the Land Trust is a key component in ensuring
the healthy uture o our valley and the enhancement o our everydaylives. Over these 15 years we have been involved in a multitude o proj-ects both grand and humble, but all crucial to the valleys well-being:
Fishingandtrailaccesspointssecuredforfreeand
unhampered public access or all to enjoy. Protectionofworkingranchandfarmlandsthathelpsustain
amily livelihoods and keep healthy oods produced closeto home.
Scenicviewsthatdeneourveryspecialheartofthevalley.
Andmostofall,protectionofacresofwildcountrythatprovide healthy habitats or our abundant wildlie who sharetheir backyards with us.
In the coming year we will expand our continuing efforts to bring the many
glories of this valley to each and every person with projects such as:
EnhancingtheCroyCreekwetlandsexperience.
InstallingthePedestrianBridgetolinkbothsidesoftheriverin the Big Wood River Greenway and bring residents to theriver or exploration and enjoyment.
CooperatingonprojectsliketheBelowMagicDamre-watering eort that will dramatically add to the valleysproductive shery and also be a benet to our partners,
the irrigators o the southern valley.
The Land Trust is uniquely qualied to bring projects like these to
ruition. We have accomplished a lot in traditional open space conser-vation, but innovative projects like these will make a big dierence inthe uture and be relevant to the next generation who will inherit oureorts.
I could only dream about what good things were to come when Iinterviewedonthatfatefulday15yearsago.FromwhereIsittodayIsee a bright uture or the valleys treasured wildlie and open spacesand the well-being o its population. The importance o the Land Trust
to this uture is undeniable. My gratitude or the Board, sta and mem-bers o the Land Trust who make my job the best in the world. m

Besides her association with theForestService,shehasalsoworkedfortheIdahoDepartmentofFishandGameandtheBureauofLand Management. She particularly enjoys the cli-mate and varied habitats o the Wood River Valley

National Recreation Area is challenging. The issuesare so diverse, and managing lands or multiple usesrequires a wide range o knowledge about wildlie,land and water, and conservation priorities.
She was elected to the Board o Directorsin 2001 and has been Secretary since 2005.Knowledge o species habitat needs and experi-ence with public natural resources managementhave made her realize that conservation o habitatsrequires more than just protecting public lands.
The Board counts on her to provide solid scienticcomment on projects that are presented.
As important as public land is to conservation,Robin notes, protecting the ecological integrity oprivate lands is equally vital in ensuring the sustain-ability o species, their habitats, and the ecologicalprocesses that all lie depends on. The Wood RiverLand Trust is the ideal organization to help with thispart o the equation.
And we are grateul or Robins years o sup-port, expertise, and her passion or protecting our

loria Moore Osberg was honored July 2, 2011, at a trail dedication by the Wood River Land Trust, IdahoConservation League, and Ketchum Ranger District. It
was a beautiul day and a memorable occasion at the OsbergsNewman Creek Cabin.
Glorias contributions to conservation and a shared apprecia-tion o our surrounding landscapes have been a lielong commit-ment. Her invaluable book, Day Hiking Near Sun Valley, is a staplein homes around the Wood River Valley. To commemorate her
contributions,ForestServiceTrail#147,theRidgelineTrail,hasbeen dedicated to Gloria.The Ridgeline Trail is a 10-mile trail running along the ridge
betweenFoxPeakandtheBakerLaketrailhead.Unfortunately,the trail is in poor condition in places and will require signiicantwork to repair erosion damage.
At the time o the dedication we needed to raise $36,320astherestof the$150,000needed isbeing coveredbyForestService grant awards. As o November 18, 2011, we need $20,990in order to reach our goal. Please help us in celebrating Gloriascontributions to the valley by giving a git in her honor. m

what we do
The bridge will provide a link to the many recreationopportunities on the east and west sides o the river. It will bemuch more than a recreational amenity. Its location oers aneducationalcomponentasanoutdoorclassroomaswell.Forive years, Larry Barnes, biology teacher at the high school, hasconducted an ornithology class at the Croy Creek Wetlandson both sides o the river. The bridge will enable the students
to spend more time in the ield and less time traveling, andengage them in a closer appreciation o the river habitat.
In combination with other amenities nearby such as theCroy Creek Wetlands Boardwalk, the welcome pavilion, and
the Lions Park ballield the bridge will create a destination spotor residents and visitors alike.
Restoration ContinuesThe Land Trusts Croy Creek Wetlands Restoration Projectirst phase was started in 2008 and completed in 2009. Tonso harmul debris (car parts, appliances, cement) rom anold city dump were removed, and the area was restored
with native plants. When we were plotting the location o the bridge, we realized the uninished second phase o thecleanup could be completed in coordination with installationo the bridge.
Six hundred cubic yards o dump ill were removed, andthe amazing array o junk and trash was sited out, with theresult that just 1/10th o the excavated debris went to the
landill. What remains is topsoil to be used at another timeand cobble, which was used at the bridge abutment sites.
Non-native trees were removed as well, to allow nativeriparian trees like cottonwoods to recover territory lost tospecies like box elders that arent deterred by lie in a ield ojunk. Weeds such as burdock and thistle, too, came out when
the ground was excavated.Foryoursafety,accesstotheareaistemporarilylimited.
We apologize or the disruption. But in a couple years thearea will be restored and a healthy riparian ecosystem estab-lished. Thank you or your patience. Please call us i you havequestionsorcomments,788-3947. m

Were On the List!he Land Trust oice on Bullion Street in Hailey wasrecently listed in the National Register o Historic
Places, a program administered by the National ParkService.
Nominated under the name of the Fox-WorswickHouse, the dates o historic signiicance or our oice areidentiied as 1880-1910, and many names linked to old Haileyare associated with the structure. The lot was purchased byC.B.FoxfromJohnHaileyfor$25andtheoriginallogcabin,intact within the building, was constructed in 1881.
The house was purchased by the Land Trust in 2000 romthe Hunter Nelson estate, and the exterior and interior werepainstakingly restored to a turn o the century appearance.Land Trust sta moved into the oices in 2001. Weve had
many rom the houses past, rom grandchildren to niecesand nephews o one-time owners, stop by to visit and see therenovation o the home they remember rom years ago.
The decision to save this old house was well worth theeort, and we are proud to have saved part o Haileys his-
tory. We urge you, too, to look around and take note o thehistory that surrounds you.
Now that the Land Trust building is listed in the NationaRegister, the intersection o Bullion Street and Second
Avenue has become Haileys historic crossroads. Each build-ing on the our corners o the intersection (Episcopal ChurchMasonic Lodge, Burke residence, and the Land Trust build-
ing) is listed in the Register. A pamphlet called Hailey HistoricCrossroads has been produced and is available at the LandTrust oice and the Hailey Chamber. m

connectionsBelow Magic Update
uilt in 1909, Magic Reservoir was designed to capturesnow melt rom the mountains o the Wood River Val-ley and store the water or armland irrigation near
Shoshone and Richield. Magic Reservoir was instrumentalin transorming the desert landscape o Southern Idaho andmade agriculture possible. It truly was magic.
Historically the purpose o the dam was solely or agricul-tural use but ultimately its existence led to a legacy o greatishing. The Big Wood River below the dam became a produc-
tive trophy tailwater ishery because o the clear, cold waterspilling rom Magic Reservoir. Unortunately, when irrigationseason is over, the water rom the dam is shut o and annualsurvival o ish in that stretch o river is uncertain.
The Land Trust and the Big Wood Canal Company (BWCC)have a vision that will beneit both agriculture and ishing in-
terests and create a plan or water conservation. The projectwould save water or irrigation uses and provide year-roundwater in the old river channel to sustain healthy trout popula-tions. This collaboration resulted in water lowing through thissection o the Big Wood River below Magic Reservoir aterirrigation season or the irst time in 102 years.
At the end o the 2011 irrigation season, the Land Trust andthe Canal Company came to an agreement in which we wouldpurchase 3,000 acre eet o stored water to conduct test lowsin this o season. These test lows will be monitored by theLandTrust,BWCC,andEcosystemSciencesFoundation(ESF)out o Boise. We hope to learn rom these test lows in both
the biological and mechanical aspects o the project. We alsohope to see results o a more sustainable trout population and
gain insight into the mechanics o operating a 100 year-olddam with relatively low lows.
We are proud to continue our collaboration with BWCC
and are eagerly anticipating the knowledge to be gained inthe coming months. We would like to express our gratitudeto the BWCC or their willingness to work together to inda solution that beneits all involved with this tailwater ish-ery enhancement project. We hope someday to see the Big
Wood River below the dam low year round, enhancing theishery and providing critical riparian habitat in our southerndesert.m

n a beautiul October aternoon a whopping 50 poundso Wyoming Big Sagebrush seed were collected by stu-dents rom Community School, Sage School, and SUWS
(School o Urban and Wilderness Survival), assisted by Wood RiverLandTrustandIdahoFishandGamestaff.Justover50volunteerscollected seed at our Sheep Bridge Preserve on Highway 20.
EdPapenbergfromIdahoFishandGameinstructedvolunteersin the proper seeding techniques and stressed the importance osuch projects or the uture o our sagebrush steppe ecosystem.These grasses and shrubs provide ood and cover or deer, elk,sage grouse and other wildlie, and stabilize the soil. These seeds
will eventually be used to reseed and restore burned areas.Seeds are weighed and tagged with species o sagebrush, date,
and harvesting location, and are then sent to the USDA ForestService Lucky Peak Nursery in Boise. The seeds collected this
October wont be planted until autumn o 2013. They must irstbe dried out, and put through a machine called a scalper to sepa-rate the seed rom lowers, leaves, and sticks. Once the seeds areclean, they are sealed in plastic bags and placed in cold storage.The seeds are then ready to be sown and are grown with limited
water and ertilizer. The newly sprouted sagebrush plants are thenharvested, cold stored one more time, and are planted in the all.
Thanks to our volunteers or a successul aternoon. Theyllprobably never look at sagebrush in the same way again. m
