WHO WE ARE
A Decade of
Commitment
S cott describes his love of the
West as an immediate connec-
tion to the area’s landscape and way
of life. That connection brought
him to the Wood River Valley in
January 1997 to become Wood River
Land Trust’s first Executive Director.
Having grown up in a farming family
in southeastern Pennsylvania that
went back generations, he appreci-
ates the values and benefits offered
to us by the land on which we live.
He believes that conservation shapes
community—that we are all the
inheritors of the land and water and
wildlife and that being good stewards
of the land brings us together.

n Using Organic Fertilizers and Limiting Pesticides
and Herbicides
Certain organic fertilizers, like lawn clippings and com-

prevent pests. Some fertilizers can leach into streams and
rivers, degrading water quality and stressing trout.

Native Plants
Planting or maintaining native vegetation adapted to our

THE NEW LAW:

• Allows qualifying farmers and


ranchers to deduct up to 100%
