It is wonderful to have you with us,
especially now when community
traditions are hard-fought. This year’s
Sagebrush Soirée theme is “This Land
is Your Land,” taken from Woody
Guthrie’s iconic song. This theme
helps us acknowledge and celebrate
how much we care about the land and
our deep connection to it.
As the new executive director, it is
truly an honor to serve the Sawtooth Society and lands we protect.
Your willingness to pursue and even exceed our goals to preserve
the land amidst today’s social and health challenges and significant
environmental threats is heartwarming and reassuring.
We could not do this work without your continuing support,
and we are deeply grateful you are here. Thank you for giving
generously and leading us in protecting, preserving, and enhancing
this area that holds a special place in our hearts.
I raise a glass and extend a toast to you and our shared endeavors
through our Soirée. Let us ensure our land is full of healthy wildlife,
dynamic forests, powerfully flowing rivers, and beautiful trails to
explore. This land is our land. Let’s create a legacy together.

Twenty-three years ago, a small group of
collaborative and committed citizens made a
real difference in land conservation. Bethine
Church gathered like-minded influencers
of the time and established the Sawtooth
Society in 1997.
The dedication of our founders continues
as four of these visionaries, Bob Hayes (Emeritus), and Donna-
Marie Hayes, Ted Pardoe, and Helen Pardoe, are currently serving
our board with dedication. The vision of these founders, plus
collaboration with many other individuals and partners, has created
a tremendous tradition of powerful advocacy for the Sawtooth
National Recreation Area.
The vision and leadership of these committed stewards plus the
hard work of so many volunteers and critical staff accomplished
significant protections for the land we love, benefitting our
community and future generations. Through your generosity and
advocacy, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area is an incredible
resource and refuge. It is truly the crown jewel of the Gem State.
Thank you for joining us today and supporting our mission to
Protect, Preserve and Enhance the SNRA, the land of endless
skyways we all love.
Hans Carstensen
President, Board of Directors

27About the Sawtooth Society
The Sawtooth Society’s mission is focused exclusively on protecting,
preserving, and enhancing the extraordinary qualities that make
the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) one of the most
physically magnificent and highly cherished natural areas of the entire
United States.
The Sawtooth Society’s vision is to work in concert with, but
independently of the U.S. Forest Service staff responsible for the
management of the 756,000 acre SNRA, as well as state and local
governments and governmental agencies, private businesses, and
individual property owners.
Formed in 1997, the nonprofit and nonpartisan Sawtooth Society is
the only organization dedicated exclusively to:
• Preserve and protect the natural, scenic, historic, pastoral,
and fish and wildlife values of the SNRA, to provide for the
preservation and enhancement of the associated recreational
values.
• Preserve and enhance recreational, educational, interpretive,
scientific, research, and experiential opportunities relating to the
SNRA.
• Increase public awareness, understanding, appreciation, and
enjoyment of the SNRA and enhance public support for the
preservation of the values listed above.
• Raise, manage, and administer such funds as are necessary and
appropriate to carry out these purposes.

The Sawtooth Society mobilized policy-makers and the public
to address threats facing the SNRA, and worked to improve the
private lands program, initiated Sawtooth Vision 20/20, and helped
develop the management plan for the two new Wilderness areas in
the SNRA.
PRESERVING OPEN SPACE
The Society worked with the Administration and Congress
to secure $17 million in federal funds for the purchase of
conservation easements in the SNRA; published “What Works,”
to clarify private land regulations and encourage less conspicuous
development among private landowners.
ENHANCING RECREATION AND SERVICES
Since 2005, the Society has supported USFS efforts to build the
Stanley to Redfish Lake trail; coordinated nearly $1 million in Goat
License Plate grants for 220 enhancement projects to benefit the
SNRA and all who live, work and recreate in it.
FACILITATING STEWARDSHIP AND VOLUNTEERISM
The Society coordinated nearly 12,000 hours of volunteerism,
which resulted in clearing more than 3,000 trees from 450 miles of
trails, providing stewardship education opportunities to more than
400 youth.
29Fund-a-Trail
Every year, trails suffer winter damage. So far this summer, our
crews have already cleared 325 trees from 24 miles of trails.
Volunteer trail repair costs nearly $600 per trail mile. Fund-a-Trail
supports volunteer trail work, patrons receive a cool recognition
lapel pin, and learn about the Society's fantastic program.
Your support helps to keep our SNRA trails open and ready for
exploration.
