One thing is for sure, the Lemhi Regional Land Trust (LRLT) has been involved with the federal government for some time on land issues.
In 2013, the Practitioners’ Network for Large Landscape Conservation, now called the Network for Landscape Conservation, conducted An Inventory and Status Report on Large Landscape Conservation in the Rocky Mountain West. Yellowstone to Yukon, Nature Conservancy, BLM, Heart of the Rockies Initiative, USFS, and USFWS all served on the coordinating committee of this report. LRLT was identified as one of "122 initiatives in the Rocky Mountain West that in some way embrace a large landscape". While much of this was centered around the now defunct Landscape Conservation Cooperatives, the goals were still the same, putting as much land as possible into conservation and overriding local jurisdictional authority by deciding how the areas should be designed, managed, and used. Much of this has now been revamped into other strategies but the point is, LRLT has been in with the agenda for a long time.
