Carly is a Pocatello local who grew up biking, running, skiing, and hiking in the hills surrounding her hometown. She has come to love the sagebrush steppe and all the life it teems with — from junipers and wildflowers to mule deer and songbirds. Today, she continues to enjoy it in all four seasons with her husband, daughter, and two dogs. 

With a background in education and journalism, Carly is excited to share the land trust’s mission and vision with a wider audience, and to forge stronger partnerships with Southeast Idahoans who care about conserving open spaces in this special corner of the state. Carly has a master’s degree in English from Idaho State University and a bachelor’s degree in journalism and Spanish from the University of Montana.
