For our purposes, we’re focused exclusively on the Boise metropolitan area. Concentrating on the Boise area, this part is a wide valley, considered to be at the foot of the distant Rocky Mountains. The valley floor is carved by streams and rivers, the largest remaining being the Boise River that joins the Snake River about 40 miles to the north. The location of the Boise metro area lends itself to four distinct seasons. In the summer, temperatures range from the upper nineties to the lower sixties. Summers are dry and especially delightful in the early evenings into the late mornings. Depending on where you’re from, winters are moderately cold with little or occasional snow. Spring and Fall are mild and the favorite times of year to explore much of Idaho, especially if mountain biking, camping, and fishing are at the tops of your recreational interests. 10 Call THE MIKE BROWN GROUP with Silvercreek Realty Group at 208-278-4300 Visit mikebrowngroup.com to learn more Boise & Surrounding Valley BY THE season If you like sunshine, you'll love the Treasure Valley.

  • Payette River Basin Initiative
    Payette River Basin Initiative Purpose The purpose of the Payette River Basin (PRB) Initiative is to utilize conservation easements in permanently conserving portions of land which hold natural, recreational, agricultural and hydrological water resource value. The PRB initiative hopes to receive and focus local, regional and national resources to accomplish this goal. The waterways, lakes, and wild country within and around the basin has drawn people to the area for generations and with increased use, development is inevitable. The Payette Land Trust (PLT) has long understood the importance of the Basin to the area’s quality of life, economic viability, unique natural beauty and the importance to the State’s water quality. The PLT will strive to keep the land in private ownership and provide the opportunity for public access through agreements with willing private landowners. Goal The Goal of the PRB initiative is to permanently conserve a connected corridor from the Payette Lake inlet to Cabarton Bridge along the main stem of the North Fork Payette River. This effort will allow for access, recreation and movement of both people and wildlife within the corridor, while conserving the existing natural beauty and water quality. Payette River Basin Initiative Payette Land Trust: What We Believe The PLT believes in conserving the rural landscape of west central Idaho for the benefit of our community and future generations. We promote a community ethic that values and conserves its working agricultural properties and timberlands in balance with thoughtful development. We envision dedicated areas of open access and connectivity encouraging people to take part in their environment.
