Trust for Public Lands

Idaho lawmakers continue to move forward with an attempt to get the federal government to transfer some public lands to the state. It's an issue supporters say could happen under centuries-old law. Rocky Barker covers the environment for the Idaho Statesman and has been following this debate in the statehouse.  He says Idaho is the latest western state to consider such a move.

KBSX will hold a community conversation about the future of Idaho’s public lands next Wednesday. You can learn more and sign up here.
