ICL Wilderness Stewards Program Information Session

TNT Taproom

ICL wants YOU to be a Wilderness Steward! If you’re like us, you find yourself in Idaho’s beautiful backcountry on your days off. Recreate with purpose, and give back to Idaho’s public lands while doing what you love in the outdoors! ICL Wilderness Stewards hit the trail on independent patrols in some of central Idaho’s wilderness and Recommended Wilderness Areas to explore, clean-up, and help report data back to the U.S. Forest Service. Being an ICL Wilderness Steward means getting to do meaningful, rewarding work while learning new skills alongside experts in the field. Join us at TNT Taproom to learn about the program, meet previous stewards, and enjoy a beer or two!

Covenant of the Salmon People

Sun Valley Opera House

Join the Idaho Salmon Partnership for a screening of Covenant of the Salmon People. Covenant of the Salmon People is a 60-minute documentary portrait of the Nez Perce Tribe as they continue to carry out their ancient promise to protect the Chinook salmon. The film explores the intertwined fate of the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce), salmon, and the landscape from which both evolved. The Nez Perce people are the oldest documented civilization in North America, with archaeological sites along Idaho’s Salmon River dating back 16,500 years. Today the Tribe is facing the extirpation of their most prized salmon species despite decades of recovery efforts. The widespread construction of dams across their Traditional lands have continued to challenge salmon recovery. The only option remaining for the Tribe, is the breach of four dams on the lower Snake River– will the Federal Government take charge of the situation or sit idly while this iconic species vanishes from their home waters? Proceeds and donations collected at this event will go directly towards event costs and to the Nez Perce Tribe.

Looking Back & Planning Ahead: The Road to a Clean Energy Future

Ketchum Fire Station

Please join us in a conversation about our recent climate history, the need for our energy systems to adapt, and the current tools being used to address the climate crisis. We’ll provide some context on how the last 30 years of climate policy have shaped the reality we’re in today, and the next steps moving forward. It’s a critical decade to address our climate, environmental, and energy issues – but the opportunities to mitigate the worst effects of climate change are within reach. While individual actions alone can’t solve climate change, engaged climate advocates working together are essential to addressing this global problem! Please join us to discuss our energy present and future, while leaving plenty of time for questions (which you can also submit ahead of time). No RSVP or scientific background is required – just bring your curiosity and appetite for knowledge!

Dark Sky Snowshoe

Sawtooth NRA Headquarters

Join Idaho Conservation League, U.S. Forest Service & astronomers from the Idaho Dark Sky Alliance for a dark sky snowshoe at the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Headquarters! We’ll meet for refreshments in the parking lot, go for a gentle .5 mile out-and-back snowshoe (weather dependent) up North Fork road for some naked-eye stargazing, and return to the parking lot for hot chocolate. If you’re interested, please register via Eventbrite or the ICL website! Note on weather: Wish on the stars for snow! If we do not have enough snow for snowshoeing, we’ll take a gentle stroll up North Fork Canyon Road.

Wolverine Science Pub – Ketchum, ID

Elephant's Perch, Ketchum, ID

Conjure up an image of a reclusive creature with the profile of a giant armadillo, the proportions and grace of a river otter, and the thick mane of a grizzly. As if dropped out of one’s imagination or taken from the crayon-scribbled colorings of our childhood, the North American wolverine is a perfect mish-mash of our most fanciful wildlife dreams, come to life for real. And, at long last, the creature, in all its untamed wildness, has been protected under the Endangered Species Act. Join Idaho Conservation League’s Wildlife Program Associate, Jeff Abrams, for a presentation on this remarkable species – one that takes refuge in the mountains surrounding the Wood River Valley! No RSVP or scientific background is required. Just bring your curiosity, sense of humor, and appetite for drinks and knowledge.

Paddling the Owyhees – Hailey, ID

Natural Grocers

Over 300 miles of rivers in the Owyhee Canyonlands are protected under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Protected river sections include the famous Jarbidge, Bruneau and Owyhee rivers. The best way to celebrate the Owyhee Canyonlands is to float one of the Wild and Scenic Rivers! The second best way to celebrate is to join us at this upcoming event. John Robison, Idaho Conservation League’s public lands director, will provide an overview of the Owyhee Canyonlands, describe the character of different river stretches, and offer logistics advice for planning your own adventures. John will also describe the Owyhee Initiative’s collaborative approach to crafting these protections.
