Working in cooperation with local land trusts, we have helped to safeguard Idaho’s working landscapes and popular recreation destinations, including more than 32,250 acres within the Greater Yellowstone ecoregion and more than 20,000 acres in the Upper Snake River area. In total, we have helped protect nearly 135,000 acres across the state.
An area known for its world class fishing and other great recreational opportunities, the Snake River attracts thousands of tourists from around the world each year. But the beauty of this area also brings the desire for development, which threatens the pristine, untouched wilderness and the most productive agricultural lands in eastern Idaho. For nearly 20 years we've worked to conserve lands along the Snake River and have succeeded in permanently protecting more than 20,000 from development.

Tens of thousands of Japanese Americans were forced to spend the World War II years in isolated internment camps out West. As part of our Japanese American Internment Camp Preservation Initiative, we are working to preserve one of these camps, south-central Idaho’s Minidoka National Historic Site, adding more than 350 acres to date. Marking a painful chapter in U.S. history, Minidoka attracts many visitors every year. Protecting America's historic lands is an important part of our conservation work.
The striking landscape of City of Rocks attracts rock climbers from around the world. The Castle Rock Ranch became the newest addition to this National Reserve thanks to a complex land exchange involving the National Park Service, the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Fund. The 1,240-acre ranch will now be open to climbers, hikers and horseback riders who visit the reserve and the adjacent Sawtooth National Forest.
