In 2005, Lemhi County landowners formed the Lemhi Regional Land Trust in order to generate and provide funds and resources for the preservation of land and natural resources, and in particular, central Idaho's ranchlands and agricultural land. The organization is home-grown and deeply concerned about the rapid conversion of agricultural lands to subdivisions and ranchettes. The group's primary goal is to maintain stewardship opportunities for landowners that allow them to conserve the land's agricultural, natural and cultural resources.
