Located in the Great Basin of southern Idaho, the Middle Snake River Conservation area is a mosaic of low-elevation emergent and riverine wetlands, willow and cottonwood riparian habitats, sagebrush steppe and areas of intensive irrigated agriculture. The project area provides a diverse mix of wetland, riparian and associated upland habitats for migratory bird species, waterfowl and shorebirds.

The purpose of the 2,221-acre Middle Snake River Conservation project is to protect and

improve key wetland, riparian and associated upland habitats in the watershed that will build on local and regional efforts to benefit important bird, fish and wildlife species. Project objectives are to protect habitat through fee title donation and permanent conservation easements on 859 acres, restore wetland habitats on 290 acres of public and private land to improve habitat for fish, wildlife and bird species and enhance 507 acres of critical wetland and riparian habitat on private lands, Minidoka NWR and four state wildlife management areas. The project will affect habitats that support high priority waterfowl species such as northern pintail, mallard, lesser scaup and greater scaup, and

will have direct benefits to a diversity of priority breeding species.
