Forever Benefit-Land Trust work in the GYE

Kathryn was raised on the Kelly family ranch along the Gallatin River outside Bozeman. She lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for several years and is an alum of the University of Alaska where she majored in biology. She had a successful career in real estate, title insurance, escrow administration, management, and teaching in California’s Bay Area before returning home to Montana. As the Greater Yellowstone Regional Manager with The Montana Land Reliance (MLR), Kathryn’s responsibilities include working with private landowners to create conservation easements, education and outreach efforts and fundraising. Before joining the Reliance in 2014, Kathryn was involved with MLR for many years as a supporter and volunteer. She and her parents donated conservation easements on the family ranch to MLR in 2001 and 2007. Kathryn serves on the board of The Association of Gallatin Agricultural Irrigators (AGAI) working to protect the Gallatin River system through it historically decreed agricultural water rights. She enjoys reading, volunteer work, and exploring the history and backroads of Montana.
