Wildfire has taken a toll on wildlife habitat in the Boise Foothills – but you can help restore it. This Saturday, join the Idaho Wildlife Federation, youth leaders from the community, and Idaho Fish & Game for a hands-on volunteer restoration day.

We’ll be planting Idaho native shrubs and grasses to stabilize soil, prevent invasive weeds, and improve habitat for mule deer, upland birds, and pollinators.

Join youth leaders, Idaho Wildlife Federation, and Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game to restore an area of the Boise Foothills that was burned during recent wildfire. We will be putting native plants in the ground and learning about our local ecosystem.

Please meet HERE at the Homestead Trailhead (3210 S Council Spring Rd) in Barber Valley. Turn onto Council Springs Road from Warm Springs. Park in the dirt area at the end of the road.

Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and walking shoes. If you have accessibility concerns please reach out to us at climateaction@cityofboise.org. Please bring a water bottle. We will provide shovels and gloves.
