Habitat

Along the Boise River sits 700 acres of land that supports more than 300 native species. And now, a new project is working to make improvements to that area by restoring habitat.

Scientists are finding that some landscapes can come back on their own after natural disasters, like wildfires. And there are more and more examples of this kind of restoration popping up around the West.

Federal officials want to expand the protected range for sage grouse, but some in our region are skeptical about that plan. In Wyoming, for example, state officials want more say in the new protections – which could mean less land will be affected.
