Idaho is On the Map

By kkelly on Sep 28, 2009 at 4:11 PM

The State of Idaho now has over a hundred projects in the Registry, thanks to the Governor’s Office, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the Idaho Natural Heritage Program. After a slow start, Idaho has almost as many individually-entered projects as Oregon—no small effort considering the amount of detail people are adding to their project descriptions. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game mandated that all conservation projects in Idaho should be entered into the Conservation Registry, and Rita Dixon, Biodiversity Team Leader, started it off with a bat conservation project in Shoshone County.

If you go to the project detail page, you will notice that the actual sites are hidden from view—a Registry feature designed to protect sensitive species and habitats. New projects are, well, all over the map from flammulated owls in Custer County, steelhead monitoring in the Potlatch River, to American white pelicans in Cassia County. Visit the Idaho portal and see what’s new.
