The guide divides the state into northern, southwestern, and southeastern districts. Environmental study trip guides complete with roadlogs, pictures, and maps of each area develop the three major districts. The guide concludes with a listing of indnstries, and guided tours of their facilities. This work was prepared under an FSRA Title III contract.

Even though a great deal of material was contributed by others, I take full responsibility for any errors or omissions,for the final editing and decisions on what to include have been mine alone. Comprehensive coverage was not possible either geographically nor according to subject; because of time limitations, it was necessary to use information which was most readily available. Some areas of the state have not been touched; some areas of science have not been covered. It is hoped, however, that the tour guides included here will serve as models and samples to show what can be done, and that enough interest will be aroused by this publication that teachers and others will gather similar material and share it with their colleagues all over the state. Acknowledgements This publication is the result of a one-year project with a staff of two a director and a secretary. However, it would never have been possible without the cooperative efforts of many people and agencies who provided information, suggestions and assistance. Only a few are noted by name here and within the text; nevertheless a sincere debt of gratitude is acknowledged to all. Several who deserve special credit and thanks are Dr. Patricia Packard and Dorothy Reynolds of Caldwell, and Sylvia Ross of Moscow, who assisted in planning, in field work, and in writing road logs; Dr. Harry Caldwell, University of Idaho and Dr. Lyle Stanford, College of Idaho, who served as consultants; Richard Kay, State Science Consultant, who originally suggested the idea for the project, A. D. Luke, State Title III Director, who assisted in sating it up, and the Superintendent and board of School District 132 who sponsored the project. Sketches and maps of the Snake River Canyon and Bass Pond were drawn by Nancy Norseen, New Meadows; all other maps, except forest service maps, were drawn by Rita Borchardt, Boise. Very special thanks and appreciation are due Vella Edwards, my most capable and efficient secretary who did all the typing as well as taking care of the numerous details involved in a project of this type. Finally, to my husband, Ralph, and children, Ron, Julie and Don, who assisted me in the search for natural resources all over the state, and cheerfully took over extra duties at home to let me devote extra time to the project, go my deepest gratitude and appreciation.

Idaho has an abundance of natural resources that can be used to produce such an awareness and understanding, but these resources are not being used to their fullest because of lack of knowledge by teachers of their location. PURPOSE The purpose of this book, therefore, is to make such knowledge available to teachers to tell them about places that are suitable for field trips to pinpoint special areas where students can study and learn by direct experience in the outdoors. Man survives by utilizing the resources of his environment. His ability to take is virtually unlimited. On the other hand, man's ability to manage his environmental resources so he will be able to continue to use them is woefully inadequate. The ability to manage wise resource use is based on knowing and understanding the living things and materials of the environment. Itis the responsibility of the teachers of the state to help their students learn about and understand the natural resources of Idaho, for the students of today are the decision and policy makers of tomorrow. This can best be done by contact, by direct experience for outdoor study provides a comprehensive understanding of thetotal environment that can be gained in no other way. Concepts evolved from variedself-learned outdoor experiences have more meaning and more applications than do those taught as abstract statement. We need ecological awareness, a blending of field and classroom experiences that will develop greater interest, awareness, understanding, and respect for our environment. SOURCES OF MATERIAL This material has been gathered from many sources, including the following governmental agencies and departments: State Departments Fish and Game Mine Inspector Highways Historical Society Public Lands Bureau of Reclamation Parks Bureau of Mines and Geology Commerce and Development Federal Agencies Geological Survey Bureau of Land Management Soil Conservation Service Forest Service Personnel of these agencies furnished technical publications and other official material, as well as sharingtheirpersonal knowledge; teachers and students from Idaho schools,colleges and universities have been most cooperative and have contributed information, including tours written especially for this book. Many others have shared their knowledge of Idaho's natural resources, and there is a great deal of material remaining in our files which we were not able to include here because of lack of space. However, we have selected representative information and tour guides and included them here to serve as models and guides to show teachers what kind of resources are available in Idaho, and how they might be used for study. Several different formats are used; this is due to the fact that tour guides have been written by different people, and also because they deal with different kinds of features. -5- 6 HOW TO USE THE BOOK The tour guides and study trip guides are arranged in three sections, based on geographical regions of the state (see map, p. 20). It is suggested that you read over the tours for your section; if you can take a complete tour, fine. If you can take only part of a tour, do so. If you can't find any that are near enough or that suit your purpose, look in the other sections, and perhaps you will find some ideas for developing your own tours. Use these as a base and take off from here. If you can't take a field trip as a class, tell the students about these places and perhaps their parents will take them on a "family field trip". If you don't feel you can leave the schoolground, refer to SCHOOLGROUND TOURS and follow. Dr. Matt Brennan's suggestions which can be adapted for any area. Every schoolground in the state possesses natural resources that can provide fascinating adventures in outdoor learning for students. If the adjoining areas, vacant lots, lawns, irrigationditches, roads,fields, and parks within walking distances are included, the natural resources are multiplied many times over.

  • Idaho Moose Management Plan 2020-2025
    Idaho Moose Management Plan 2020-2025 DRAFT December 10, 2019 1 This page intentionally left blank. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Shiras Moose (Alces alces shirasi) occur across much of Idaho, except for the southwest corner of the state. Moose are highly valued by both hunters and non-hunters, providing consumptive and non-consumptive opportunities that have economic and aesthetic value. Over the past century their known range has expanded from small areas of northern and eastern Idaho to their current distribution. Population size also increased during this time, likely peaking around the late 1990s or early 2000s. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) is concerned that current survey data, anecdotal information and harvest data indicate moose have recently declined in parts of Idaho. Several factors may be impacting moose populations both positively and negatively including predation, habitat change (e.g., roads, development, timber harvest), changing climate, disease or parasites and combinations thereof. IDFG was established to preserve, protect, perpetuate and manage all of Idaho’s fish and wildlife. As such, species management plans are written to set statewide management direction to help fulfill IDFG’s mission. Idaho’s prior moose management plan (Idaho Department of Fish and Game 1990) addressed providing a quality hunting experience, the vulnerability of moose to illegal harvest, protecting their habitat, improving controlled hunt drawing odds and expanding moose populations into suitable ranges. The intent of this revision to the 1990 Moose Management Plan is to provide guidance for IDFG and their partners to implement management actions that will aid in protection and management of moose populations in Idaho and guide harvest season recommendations for the next 6 years.
