Eric Grace, Executive Director of the Land Trust of the Treasure Valley (LTTV) will step down in January.

“After completing the South Fork Willow Creek acquisition and the Win-Hollow conservation easement, I’ve had time to catch my breath and celebrate a very productive year,” said Grace.

“I’ve used this time to assess the organization and my role as executive director. This introspection crystallized what had been lurking in my mind for the past few months: It is time for me to step aside. After a twenty-five year career, leading three different land trusts, I’m ready for a change.”

Grace joined LTTV four years ago, focusing on advancing its conservation and stewardship programs, increasing capacity to do more land protection, and build on the land trust’s past successes. He notes that the organization is positioned to achieve great things.

“We’ve assembled a management team to ensure LTTV doesn’t miss a beat during the transition,” he said. “The Land Trust of the Treasure Valley has an exciting future. I look forward to contributing to its success, just in a different capacity.”

ICOLT appreciates his support over the years. Grace has no plan to retire and we look forward to learning where he lands and what new accomplishments he’ll rack up. In the near future, he plans to ski and spend time with family.

The LTTV will post a job announcement on the website in early January.
