September 2015 Idaho Conservation League • Volume XVIII • Number 3 • September, 2015 FEATURING Celebrating Idaho’s new wilderness! 3 Looking back on a season of fire 6 It could happen in Idaho... 12 Boulder-White Clouds / Ed Cannady Boulder-White BOARD Paul Cunningham, Chair, Boise Steve Mitchell, Vice Chair, Hailey Kahle Becker, Secretary, Garden City Julie Richardson, Treasurer, Hailey Tanya Anderson, Victor Jerry Brady, Idaho Falls Carolyn Coiner, Twin Falls David Eichberg, Boise Boulder-White Clouds / Ed Cannady Elaine French, Ketchum Lori Gibson Banducci, Boise Steve Lockwood, Sandpoint FROM THE DIRECTOR: Jim Norton, Boise John O’Connor, Bonners Ferry TOGETHER, WE GOT IT DONE Tom Page, Hailey Buddy Paul, Coeur d’Alene Jerry Scheid, Idaho Falls Pres.

Jim Risch changed about how wilderness gets protected. his mind at the Senate hearing. While the ground-breaking pragmatism that ICL Simpson ultimately crafted a bill that pioneered with Simpson made national news was rich with compromise.

We sent teams to DC, monument campaign in earnest. identified thousands of grassroots supporters, and developed local and national partners— Boulder-White Clouds / ICL Artist in Residence Peter Lovera work modeled on what we’d done years before to support Simpson’s efforts in Congress. We had a great coalition pulling forward. In September 2014, at a dinner in DC to commemorate the Wilderness Act’s 50th anniversary, we arranged a meeting between Simpson and the White House advisor at that time, John Podesta. We had hoped that Simpson would provide Podesta at least a nod toward the monument. But the morning before, Simpson threw us a curve: “I’m going to talk to him about the monument, but I’m also going to ask for six months at the start of the next Congress to try to pass my bill again,” he told us. Simpson is a legislator and proud of it, working in a dysfunctional body. We should The Boulder-White Cloud national not have been surprised that he’d try to move monument campaign was one of the first his bill again.

The Boulder-White Clouds will Boulder-White Clouds / ICL Artist in Residence Peter Lovera be a designated wilderness or a national monument.” By then, the six-month window to which Podesta had agreed was public. This deadline raised the profile for his legislation and validated that a national monument would happen if his bill did not pass. In December 2014, several largely conservative interest groups reached out to the delegation. Their message was clear: The monument is serious and the Idaho delegation needs to solve this problem. While they had opposed the wilderness bill before, they would support it now. Risch listened and said to Simpson, “We can get this done.” A new bill was introduced in the House and Senate this February. On my wall hang copies of the 10 bills that Simpson has The week of July 27 was huge.

  • Boulder-‐White Clouds National Monument Dear Regional
    September 26, 2013 RE: Boulder-White Clouds National Monument Dear Regional Forester Rasure and Forest Supervisor Nourse, Outdoor Alliance—a coalition of five national, member-based organizations including Access Fund, American Canoe Association, American Whitewater, International Mountain Bicycling Association, and Winter Wildlands Alliance—writes to express our support for a Boulder-White Clouds National Monument in Idaho. We represent the interests of the millions of Americans who hike, paddle, climb, mountain bike, ski and snowshoe on our nation’s public lands, waters and snowscapes. Inclusive of local Idaho clubs and chapters, collectively, we have members in all fifty states and a network of approximately 1,100 local clubs and advocacy groups across the nation, many of whom recreate and have a distinct interest in the permanent protection of this iconic landscape. As one of the largest unprotected tracts of Forest Service land in the Continental US, there is significant opportunity to preserve the landscape and the uniQue recreational experiences currently available in the Boulder-White Clouds region. While recreation is prized here and highlighted by the current Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), the area’s fate has been debated consistently in the four decades since Cecil Andrus rode a campaign against mining near Castle Peak into a governorship. In that time, the surrounding communities of Salmon, Stanley, Ketchum and Hailey have become reliant on outdoor recreation, a sector that supports 77,000 jobs, and brings $6.3 billion in consumer spending, and $461 million in state and local tax revenue to Idaho.1 A national monument designation will strengthen local economies through business growth, increased visitation, and longer stays.

  • Monitoring White Cloud Milkvetch (Astragalus Vexilliflexus Var. Nubilus) on the Sawtooth National Recreation Area: Baseline Results, 2005
    MONITORING WHITE CLOUD MILKVETCH (ASTRAGALUS VEXILLIFLEXUS VAR. NUBILUS) ON THE SAWTOOTH NATIONAL RECREATION AREA: BASELINE RESULTS, 2005 Idaho Conservation Data Center Idaho Department of Fish and Game PO Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Michael Mancuso 2006 Sawtooth National Forest and Idaho Department of Fish and Game ABSTRACT White Cloud milkvetch (Astragalus vexilliflexus var. nubilus) is a U.S. Forest Service, Region 4 sensitive plant species known from ten occurrences, all located within the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. It is endemic to an approximately 21 km x 10 km area on the eastern slope of the White Cloud Peaks and western slope of the adjacent Boulder Mountains in Custer County, Idaho. In 2005, the Sawtooth National Forest contracted the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s Idaho Conservation Data Center to establish a monitoring program for this species. White Cloud milkvetch census, plant community, and ground disturbance information was collected along permanently marked transects at eight of the ten known occurrences. Photo point photographs and the collection of additional occurrence area disturbance and threat information were also part of the monitoring protocol. Baseline results showed occurrences had variable White Cloud milkvetch density and habitat characterized by low vegetation cover. The majority had minimal or no disturbance. The landscape surrounding all occurrences was dominated by native vegetation and unfragmented except for occasional secondary roads. Bowery Ridge is the occurrence requiring the most immediate management attention. Recent off-trail motorcycle and heavy cattle use were observed within and near the occurrence. Imminent, serious threats were not observed within the other occurrences visited. Periodic monitoring is recommended to ensure managers are kept appraised of population and habitat trends, the status of any threats, and to evaluate whether directed management actions such as grazing allotment boundary adjustments, are having the intended effect.

  • Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Addition Hemingway-Boulders, Jim Mcclure-Jerry Peak and White Clouds Wilderness Areas
    FOREST SERVICE AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Addition Hemingway-Boulders, Jim McClure-Jerry Peak and White Clouds Wilderness Areas Interim Maps and Guidelines 2016 “A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled (wild and free from human control or manipulation) by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. An area of wilderness is further defined to mean … an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions…” —The Wilderness Act, 1964 U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law Congressman Mike Simpson’s legislation creating three new Wilderness areas in Idaho. The legislation, The Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act (P.L. 114-46), was signed August 7, 2015, in a signing ceremony at the White House. The Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act designates three areas as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, including the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness (116,898 acres), White Clouds Wilderness (90,769 acres) and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness (67,998 acres). These protected areas preserve 275,665 acres of high mountain backcountry with crystal lakes and abundant wildlife. The U.S. Forest Service manages federal lands within the newly designated wilderness areas with the exception of more than 24,000 acres of the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness, and 450 acres of the White Clouds Wilderness which is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
