The Sagebrush Steppe Regional Land Trust works with landowners, federal, state and local governments, and the public-at-large, to create win-win situations for private and public interests. We carry out our mission by negotiating easements, land exchanges and land acquisitions within our service area.

Funding for the conservation easement and ongoing land stewardship for many of our projects along the Bear River is provided by the Bear River Hydroelectric Project’s Environmental Coordinating Committee, a stakeholder group that approves expenditure of PacifiCorp Energy hydro project environmental enhancement funds dedicated to improving water quality and native fish populations along the Bear River in Idaho.
