  • White Cloud Milkvetch), a Region 4 Sensitive Species, on the Sawtooth National Forest
    FIELD INVESTIGATION OF ASTRAGALUS VEXILLIFLEXUS VAR. NUBILUS (WHITE CLOUD MILKVETCH), A REGION 4 SENSITIVE SPECIES, ON THE SAWTOOTH NATIONAL FOREST by Michael Mancuso and Robert K. Moseley Natural Heritage Section Nongame/Endangered Wildlife Program Bureau of Wildlife December 1990 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Challenge Cost-share Project Sawtooth National Forest Idaho Department of Fish and Game Purchase Order No. 40-0261-0-0801 ABSTRACT An inventory for Astragalus vexilliflexus var. nubilus (White Cloud milkvetch) was conducted on the Sawtooth National Forest by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Natural Heritage Program during August of 1990. The inventory was a cooperative Challenge Cost-share project between the Department and the Sawtooth National Forest. White Cloud milkvetch is a narrow endemic to the White Cloud Peaks and Boulder Mountains of central Idaho, in Custer County. Populations are scattered along the ridge systems that slope generally west to east on the east side of the White Cloud crest. Additionally, one population from the Bowery Creek drainage of the Boulder Mountains is known. It is a high elevation species, found mostly on exposed, dry, rocky ridge crests or upper slopes that typically support a relatively sparse vegetation cover. Prior to our 1990 survey, the species was known from three populations. Five new populations were discovered during the 1990 field investigation. Together, these eight populations support approximately 5,700 plants and cover an area less than 40 acres. Both current and potential threats have been identified at several populations.

  • Big Boulder Lakes Boulder-White Cloud Mountains Date Oct
    Big Boulder lakes Boulder-White Cloud Mountains Date Oct. 1-3, 2014 Time Location Big Boulder Lakes – Challis, ID Weather Clear & cold but very windy Fish Species Westslope Cutthroat, Grayling Size Range Potentially 18” or bigger Fish Caught 1 Westslope Cuthroat – The wind curtailed my fishing efforts and so I explored Flies Used Elk Hair Caddis, Pheasant Tail Nymph Techniques Dry fly, stripping nymphs Comments Some of the best scenery in Idaho! I cannot confirm the big fish stories. See additional photos of the Boulder-White Cloud Mountains: https://www.flickr.com/photos/120225686@N06/sets/72157648089810649 See trip video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Xsska2XlU When I think of big fish in alpine lakes in Idaho – I think of the Big Boulder Lakes. I’ve seen photos and heard several reports that the fishing is excellent for big Cutthroat. Unfortunately, the relentless wind made the wind chill unbearable and I was relegated to bundling up and bagging a couple of peaks instead. But trust me – I have no regrets! The scenery is spectacular and possibly my favorite in Idaho. The Boulder-White Cloud Mountains are part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The fight has continued for decades to designate the Boulder-White Clouds a Wilderness Area. I personally think it rivals the Sawtooths as my favorite backpacking destination in Idaho and I’ve set foot in most mountain ranges save a few in the panhandle. A view near the lower section of trail on the way to Walker Lake Itinerary Wednesday – Drive 4 hours from Boise; less than a mile hike to Jimmy Smith Lake; Backpack 6 to 7 miles to Walker Lake (camp).

  • Wilderness Stewardship Program FAQ 2021
    Wilderness Stewardship Program Frequently Asked Questions The U.S. Forest Service and Idaho Conservation League launched the wilderness stewardship program in 2016. This program creates and supports a cooperative relationship among our community, ICL, the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service that focuses on quality wilderness stewardship to fulfill the intent of the Wilderness Act by protecting and preserving the wilderness character of the Sawtooth Wilderness, Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness, Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness, Cecil D. Andrus White Clouds Wilderness, recommended wilderness areas in the Salmon-Challis National Forest and Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. If you love these wild places, enjoy being out in them and have an interest in becoming a volunteer steward, then this volunteer program is for you! The 2021 wilderness stewardship season will run from May through early November. *NOTICE: Due to the impact of COVID-19 in Idaho, the activities, timeline and training of the Wilderness Stewardship Program may be adapted to the circumstances. We are working closely with the U.S. Forest Service to follow their guidelines for field work on public lands in Idaho. For more information, contact Hannah Smay, [email protected]. Q. What is the goal of the wilderness stewardship program? A. The overarching goal of the wilderness stewardship program is to restore, protect, and enhance wilderness character within the newly designated Hemingway-Boulders, Jim McClure-Jerry Peak and Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds Wildernesses, as well as in the Sawtooth Wilderness, recommended wilderness areas in the Salmon-Challis National Forest, and Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, through citizen and community engagement.

  • 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.

    The Stock User’s Guide Sawtooth National Recreation Area “It was a land of vast silent spaces, of lonely rivers, and of plains where the wild game stared at passing horsemen.

The mountain meadows, alpine lakes and jagged peaks of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) await your visit. The task of keeping this area beautiful and undamaged belongs to all of us. As a stock user, you must take extra pre- cautions to safeguard the land. The introduction of noxious weeds, overgrazing, tree girdling and other impacts can be easily avoided with a bit of skill and preparation. This user’s guide can help you prepare for your trip. For example, did you know you must get a free wilderness permit from a Forest Service office if you are taking stock overnight into the Sawtooth Wilderness? Are you aware that the eastern side of the Wilderness is closed to grazing? So if you go, bring certified weed seed free feed (no loose hay or straw). For more useful tips, please read on, and have a great journey.
