  • 12. Owyhee Uplands Section
    12. Owyhee Uplands Section Section Description The Owyhee Uplands Section is part of the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion. The Idaho portion, the subject of this review, comprises southwestern Idaho from the lower Payette River valley in the northwest and the Camas Prairie in the northeast, south through the Hagerman Valley and Salmon Falls Creek Drainage (Fig. 12.1, Fig. 12.2). The Owyhee Uplands spans a 1,200 to 2,561 m (4,000 to 8,402 ft) elevation range. This arid region generally receives 18 to 25 cm (7 to 10 in) of annual precipitation at lower elevations. At higher elevations, precipitation falls predominantly during the winter and often as snow. The Owyhee Uplands has the largest human population of any region in Idaho, concentrated in a portion of the section north of the Snake River—the lower Boise and lower Payette River valleys, generally referred to as the Treasure Valley. This area is characterized by urban and suburban development as well as extensive areas devoted to agricultural production of crops for both human and livestock use. Among the conservation issues in the Owyhee Uplands include the ongoing conversion of agricultural lands to urban and suburban development, which limits wildlife habitat values. In addition, the conversion of grazing land used for ranching to development likewise threatens wildlife habitat. Accordingly, the maintenance of opportunity for economically viable Lower Deep Creek, Owyhee Uplands, Idaho © 2011 Will Whelan ranching operations is an important consideration in protecting open space. The aridity of this region requires water management programs, including water storage, delivery, and regulation for agriculture, commercial, and residential uses.

  • Proceedings, 2012 International Snow Science Workshop, Anchorage, Alaska
    Proceedings, 2012 International Snow Science Workshop, Anchorage, Alaska THE URBAN AVALANCHE INTERFACE AND COMMUNITY IMPACTS A CASE STUDY: KETCHUM, SUN VALLEY & THE WOOD RIVER VALLEY, IDAHO Janet K. Kellam Former Director Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center, Ketchum, ID ABSTRACT: The reality of dealing with urban development in avalanche terrain can look simple on paper but is challenging and complex in real life. Other factors come into play beyond what is described on avalanche zoning maps. It is not just the home we are trying to protect, but also the lives of those that occupy and service the structure. Increasing population density, more homes built in avalanche terrain and recent avalanche cycles have produced numerous avalanche incidents and management problems throughout the communities of the Wood River Valley. This case study highlights close calls, management efforts and identifies individuals and groups placed at risk during an avalanche event. Other communities may benefit from this knowledge and improve their existing problems or recognize future avalanche issues. Before approval of new development in avalanche terrain local planners need to fully identify all individuals that may be put at risk – these often extend beyond the building’s occupants and may include emergency services, maintenance personnel, neighbors and visitors. In addition, local planners must consider how many locations may be simultaneously affected by avalanche events during large storms. Communities need to have avalanche-educated leaders, decision makers and planners who with the support of avalanche professionals, can accurately identify and understand local avalanche problems. Proactive management strategies can then be developed and applied on a case-by-case basis in order to reduce the increased avalanche risk associated with new development.

    Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report Summer 2015 Administrator’s Corner Greetings, Trail Fit? Are you up for the challenge? A trail hike or run can provide unique health results that cannot be achieved indoors on a treadmill while staring at a wall or television screen. Many people know instinctively that a walk on a trail in the woods will also clear the mind. There is a new generation that is already part of the fitness movement and eager for outdoor adventure of hiking, cycling, and horseback riding-yes horseback riding is exercise not only for the horse, but also the rider. We are encouraging people to get out on the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Photo Service Forest U.S. (NPNHT) and Auto Tour Route to enjoy the many health Sandra Broncheau-McFarland benefits it has to offer. Remember to hydrate during these hot summer months. The NPNHT and Auto Tour Route is ripe for exploration! There are many captivating places and enthralling landscapes. Taking either journey - the whole route or sections, one will find unique and authentic places like nowhere else. Wherever one goes along the Trail or Auto Tour Route, they will encounter moments that will be forever etched in their memory. It is a journey of discovery. The Trail not only provides alternative routes to destinations throughout the trail corridor, they are destinations in themselves, each with a unique personality. This is one way that we can connect people to place across time. We hope you explore the trail system as it provides opportunities for bicycling, walking, hiking, running, skiing, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing, and other activities.

    Back Country Horsemen of Idaho Annual Report 2017 Idaho Volunteer efforts were valued at $710,287.34 Boise Chapter BCH In addition to our spring philanthropy fund raiser ride for St. Jude; the Boise Chapter had two, three person crews on the ground for two days each in 2017. Each crew consisted of two BCH members and one non- member. The projects resulted in approximately 8 miles of non-wilderness trail clearing. Cache Peak BCH This past year was a productive year for our chapter. We started the year with Ken Crane, Burley BLM field manger, coming to our February meeting. We discussed possible projects. As a result, our chapter applied for a grant with the Idaho Hose Board to upgrade the trailhead at Cottonwood WLMA. We had a fundraiser yard sale in May. We had several trail cleaning projects starting with several trails at Bennett Springs/Pomerelle throughout June, July, and August. In October we cleaned trails at Big Cottonwood WLMA. In June we had a booth at the Search and Rescue event put on by Life Flight in Burley. Cache Peak was represented at the March convention in Boise and the September Directors meeting in Idaho Falls. We had our Christmas party at Carolyn Weimer’s house. We hope to have rides this coming year with High Desert and Portneuf River chapters this coming year. We are planning an Obstacle course event and hope to ride in one parade this year. “We clean trails as we ride” Heartland Back Country Horsemen 2017 year in Review Heartland’s year started with putting into place some ideas discussed at the Coalition of Parks and Recreation attended by President Robert Wagner and Vice-president Paul Kleint.
