Unearthing Idaho: Mining and Environmental Impacts in the Gem State

Elephant's Perch, Ketchum, ID

Idaho has a long and colorful history of mining, but too many of these mines have polluted streams and contaminated landscapes. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 40% of watersheds in the West are contaminated by mining activity. The Idaho Conservation League works to ensure that mining activities don’t threaten human health, special places, or Idaho’s clean water. Join Idaho Conservation League’s Central Idaho Director, Josh Johnson, for an inventory of mining in Idaho: past, present, and future. Learn about the environmental impact of mining on air, water, habitat, and public health, as well as what the Idaho Conservation League does to vet these projects and prevent or mitigate environmental consequences.
