Who Are We?
  • We are an Idaho nonprofit grassroots organization with close to 700 concerned individuals dedicated to the implementation of smart growth principles.
     
  • We provide a united voice against senseless development that destroys our way of life and natural resources, reduces property values and results in higher taxes.

Important Goals:

  • Preservation of our working farms and ranches, open space and scenic vistas, natural resource and recreation that can be passed on to future generations.
     
  • Partners with other non-profit organizations interested in protecting Fremont County's natural resources.
Our Board of Directors

Douglas Siddoway

Vice President
Doug grew up in a farming and sheep ranching family near Teton. He received a BA from the University of Notre Dame and a JD from the University of Utah College of Law, and is an attorney with Randall & Danskin in Spokane, Washington. Prior to moving to Spokane in 1985, he practiced law in New York City. Doug's interest in land use planning took shape in the mid 1990s when he and his wife Lauri (also an attorney at Randall & Danskin) helped stop construction of a massive concrete bridge over the historic Lower Falls of the Spokane River in downtown Spokane.

Doug has been a director of SGC since late 2008 and is also a member of the Henry's Fork Foundation, the National Ski Patrol, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Spokane Scholars Foundation, and other charitable organizations. Doug and his wife own property in Squirrel and near Teton, and eventually plan to move back to the area. He believes Fremont County's uncommon beauty and agricultural heritage are its biggest assets, and that both can be preserved through thoughtful planning and wise and transparent political leadership.

Pat Sturm

Treasurer
Pat is a long time resident who with her now deceased husband Ralph, farmed in the Ashton area for many years. Her family, the Bakers, were among the original homesteaders that settled in the Marysville area in the late 1800's. Pat and Ralph's farming operations included land that was homesteaded by the Sturm family more than a 100 years ago. Her love of the land and concern for Fremont County's natural resources motivated her to become one of the original founders of the Smart Growth Coalition.
