Pony Creek Fence Removal, Mountain Home ID

Event Start Date: 4/10/2026

Event End Date: 4/12/2026

Timezone: MDT

Interested in boots on the ground stewardship work that directly impacts wildlife? Idaho BHA has you covered, we are looking to remove around 1 mile of barbwire fence. This effort will directly influence migrating big game animals and open more habitat connectivity. Join us April 10-12, for a campout weekend in Southwest Idaho.

We will be working on BLM land just north of Mountain Home Idaho and about 1 hour away from Boise. The fence we are removing is located on a steep hillside and may challenge mobility or balance for some individuals.

If camping isn’t your thing, feel free to meet the crew out for the day on Saturday the 11^th for the main event. For the campers, bring what you normally need for a weekend out on public land.

Schedule:

Friday April 10- Meet at the camping location anytime on Friday.  You will be responsible for your own dinner. 

Saturday April 11- We will meet at 8:00 am to discuss the work and do a safety briefing.  BHA will provide a light breakfast and coffee as well as lunch.  We will be working all day removing fence. 

Saturday Evening: Wild game potluck at camp.  Please bring a dish to share, it is not mandatory to have wild game.  Vegetables are always welcome.

Sunday April 12: Fence work is optional.  If we have more to do and people are up for it we will work half a day. 

What to Bring:  Plenty of water, work gloves, long sleeve shirt, pants you don’t mind getting holes in, ancle high boots, sunglasses or safety glasses.

What BHA will provide: Breakfast, coffee, and lunch on Saturday, work gloves, fencing tools, and some free BHA swag.

The camping location is TDB; this event page will be updated when the date gets closer. An email will be sent out to volunteers who sign up with additional details a week before the event.
