Join Idaho BHA for a Saturday of stewardship work assisting Upper Snake BLM with fence removal near Irwin Fishing Access. We will be removing approx. 1 mile of outdated fence on 200 acres of land recently acquired for public use. Fences serve an important role in grazing and rangeland management, and can be an important tool in maintaining rangeland health. While unneeded fences may not hinder rangeland goals, they can be a strike risk to upland birds, provide raptor perches thus increasing predation, and can hinder ungulate movements in the area. The removal of unnecessary fences benefit local wildlife and increase the scenic value of the landscape.
We will meet at 8am Saturday morning at (43.40006, -111.29425) for a brief introduction/safety brief and work until 4pm. Following the fence pull, join us just down the street at the Little Moose Lodge for a beer, camaraderie and a short seminar from a local big cat biologist on his research and future management strategies. Volunteers are welcome to camp at nearby dispersed camping sites on BLM or show up bright and early.
Volunteers should bring: Hiking boots, work gloves, snacks/water, eye protection, clothing layers for a full day outside (long sleeves are encouraged to protect against sun and barbed wire),
