Help save 32,000,000 acres, Look at this

Springtime is here and it’s a great time to be getting out on your amazing public lands! However, we cannot take these lands for granted— public lands takeover efforts remain a very real threat. Coming off the heels of an inspiring rally for public lands in Boise that drew over a thousand people, we are energized and ready to continue to protect our priceless public lands from transfer to the state and/or privatization. You can speak up to keep public lands in public hands today by following our easy take action link here. Springtime is also baby animal season! The grass is greening up. Animals are returning and emerging from a winter slumber, and we are welcoming the newest pack members, from cubs to calves to chicks. Living in Idaho and the West means that we also live with the wonder and beauty of wildlife. This spring we have the opportunity to help shape how Idaho’s wildlife is managed for generations to come. Right now, the Idaho Fish and Game agency is embarking on a once-per-decade strategic planning effort and they are asking the public to weigh in. This is Idahoans’ chance to have their voice heard for a renewed approach to wildlife management across the state. Learn more below, take action, and attend a public meeting near you! With the state legislative session (thankfully) wrapping up soon, ICL’s government relations team has been keeping a close eye on the last-minute flurry of bills. In particular, we strongly opposed Senate Joint Memorial 104 because it seeks to strip federally managed public lands (Camas National Wildlife Refuge) from public ownership and place them under state control. Unfortunately, the resolution (which is non-binding) just passed the Idaho House on Monday. You can visit our Take Action page for other ways to support our efforts in the statehouse. |
