  • Ponderosa State Park August 2019
    Ponderosa state Park august 2019 Mule Deer at our campsite at Ponderosa State Park We camped with several of Coleen’s family members at Ponderosa State Park. It’s in McCall, Idaho next to Payette Lake. We’ve enjoyed this campground over the years for family reunions. We fished off the dock, rode bikes, went hiking and kayaking on the lake and a couple miles up the inlet. My family later went back the next week and stayed in one of the cabins. We had a great time catching up with family members. Their favorite thing to do is swim in the lake. It is crowded but the kids love it. One perk is the hot showers and nice restrooms. There is even electricity so we took the crockpot. I’ve never done that before camping. I love the tall Ponderosa Pines that surround the campground and all the birds singing. It’s a beautiful area if you can stand the crowds. I don’t mind it every once in a while but it’s not my typical way I like to camp. You can go into town for shakes when it gets hot! Our Campsite Jacie and I hiked on the Huckleberry Trail and picked Huchleberries for our pancakes. We also saw a half-dozen Pileated Woodpeckers in a group which is the most I’ve ever seen together. Swimming in Payette Lake Kayaking on Payette Lake Kayaking a 2 mile stretch from the bridge to the inlet of Payette Lake Kayaking a 2 mile stretch from the bridge to the inlet of Payette Lake Kayaking a 2 mile stretch from the bridge to the inlet of Payette Lake The kids loved the rope swing while kayaking the inlet My wife and I returned a month later for our anniversary to fish off the dock.

  • 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.

  • Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation in the Intermountain Region Part 1
    United States Department of Agriculture Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation in the Intermountain Region Part 1 Forest Rocky Mountain General Technical Report Service Research Station RMRS-GTR-375 April 2018 Halofsky, Jessica E.; Peterson, David L.; Ho, Joanne J.; Little, Natalie, J.; Joyce, Linda A., eds. 2018. Climate change vulnerability and adaptation in the Intermountain Region. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-375. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. Part 1. pp. 1–197. Abstract The Intermountain Adaptation Partnership (IAP) identified climate change issues relevant to resource management on Federal lands in Nevada, Utah, southern Idaho, eastern California, and western Wyoming, and developed solutions intended to minimize negative effects of climate change and facilitate transition of diverse ecosystems to a warmer climate. U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service scientists, Federal resource managers, and stakeholders collaborated over a 2-year period to conduct a state-of-science climate change vulnerability assessment and develop adaptation options for Federal lands. The vulnerability assessment emphasized key resource areas— water, fisheries, vegetation and disturbance, wildlife, recreation, infrastructure, cultural heritage, and ecosystem services—regarded as the most important for ecosystems and human communities. The earliest and most profound effects of climate change are expected for water resources, the result of declining snowpacks causing higher peak winter
