advisory board members

Janice Smith-Hill

Janice has lived in Moscow with her husband, Jack, since 1993.  She is the owner of the Smith-Hill Law Office in Moscow and teaches business law at WSU.  Janice joined the Palouse Land Trust as an Advisory Board member in 1997, served on the Board of Directors since 2001 and stepped down in mid-2023 to return to the Advisory Board as legal council and a member of the Lands Committee. 

Janice balances her busy life as an attorney with traveling, writing, acting, birding, playing the piano, and volunteering.  She says she enjoys working with the Land Trust because, "It's incumbent on me as a citizen to help preserve the unique landscape and scenic treasures of our region for future generations.  One only has to try to describe the Palouse to people who have never been here to realize the amazing uniqueness of the area!"
