The Bureau of Land Management's Boise and Vale Districts will conduct two public tours of Soda Fire rehabilitation treatments. The tours will take place on Nov. 16 and Nov. 22, and will take approximately five hours. Tours will depart at 9 a.m. from the BLM Owyhee Field Office, 20 1st Avenue West, Marsing, Idaho. Participants are responsible for providing their own tour transportation and lunch. Due to rough terrain, four-wheel drive vehicles are required.
The tours will feature herbicide and vegetation treatments completed in recent months for both the Vale (OR) and the Boise (ID) Districts. Some areas visited will highlight emergency stabilization and rehabilitation treatment, layering and adaptive management. The tour will also include a site visit to proposed fuel breaks.
Those interested in participating in either tour must RSVP with Seth Flanigan, Assistant Project Manager, at 208-384-3450 or sflanigan@blm.gov, no later than Nov. 10, 2016.
