Founding Member of BRLT, Steve Powell, passes away.

This has been an extremely difficult time for all of us at BRLT.  The organization and the work we do in this community was Steve's vision and it was his perseverance, hard work and firm belief in the importance of conservation easements to the future of the Bitterroot Valley that made BRLT a reality.  None of us - board and staff, volunteers and supporters - would have a chance to engage in this work in this community without Steve's vision and conviction that the Bitter Root Land Trust was needed and could, with a lot of hard work, be viable.  
It is the board's decision to create a memorial fund in Steve's honor that will help us defray the costs for landowners who want to leave a conservation legacy on their family lands.  Steve may not be here to help landowners through the process of placing a conservation easement on their land, but we will have a revolving fund in his honor that makes it easier for landowners to do so in the future.  Steve's legacy and vision will help future boards and future landowners do more to protect the Bitterroot Valley.
Thank You to all who attended Steve's memorial gathering on April 26th. It was a beautiful afternoon to share memories of Steve--he would be proud.
