“It’s our responsibility to maintain healthy land environments for generations to come,” Patrick Shepler explains.
Born and raised in North Idaho, Patrick spent his youth and adult life exploring the endless forest roads, rivers and lakes. “Camping, logging, clearing ATV trails and anything involving a chainsaw is what gets my blood moving,” he emphasizes. “My heart and soul has always been in the woods.”

My name is Jillian, and I have been an editor and writer here in Coeur d’Alene since 2006, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to work for nine publications across North Idaho, into Spokane and as far as Gig Harbor, Washington. I am grateful to have the opportunity to now focus all my attention, energy and passion on my local community, finding and sharing heartfelt stories, spotlighting the incredible people, showcasing local businesses, organizations and nonprofits, and of course highlighting the many wonderful events our area has to offer.
