Education is critical to the success of bird conservation. 3. Stewardship of birds and their habitats is a shared responsibility. Goals: 1. Guide conservation action where it is needed most by conducting scientifically rigorous monitoring and research on birds and their habitats within the context of their full annual cycle. 2. Inspire conservation action in people by developing relationships through community outreach and science-based, experiential education programs. 3. Contribute to bird population viability and help sustain working lands by partnering with landowners and managers to enhance wildlife habitat. 4. Promote conservation and inform land management decisions by disseminating scientific knowledge and developing tools and recommendations. Suggested Citation: White, C. M., M. F. McLaren, N. J.

This trail along with the Centennial and Hiawatha Trails make for an area full of geology and mining history. The 73-mile Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes paved trail spans the Idaho panhandle between Mullan and Plummer. It was created through a unique partnership between the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Union Pacific Railroad, the U. S. Government, and the State of Idaho. The trail meanders through the historic Silver Valley, along the Coeur d’Alene River past scenic Lake Coeur d’Alene and through rolling farmlands to Plummer. Twenty developed trailheads provide entry points, and there are twenty scenic waysides along the route with tables to stop for a picnic or a short rest. The Hiawatha trail, is the crown jewel of our nation’s Rails to Trails routes. This special day takes you through nine train tunnels and across seven trestles with views of the towering Bitterroot Mountains. Enjoy a day cycling around and exploring the lake side town of Coeur d’Alenes on the historic North Idaho Centennial trail. This trail meanders along the waterfront and takes in the history of the town. Local History Silver was discovered in the area in 1884 and soon a rail line was constructed to support the growing mining, timber, and supply industries.
