BOISE, Idaho - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released the draft Kuna Cave Recreation Site Improvement Environmental Assessment and is inviting public review of proposed enhancements to the popular site located about 5 miles south of Kuna.
The proposal calls for improvements to road and parking area access, renovating the entrance ladder for safety, and installing a grate to deter dumping and vandalism. The proposal does not include closing off the cave entrance to public entry.
“The BLM appreciates Kuna Cave’s importance to the local community and these proposed actions aim to enhance both public access and safety," said Amanda Hoffman, Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area Manager. “This effort is an example of how the BLM is working to improve recreational opportunities on public lands."
The draft Environmental Assessment can be found at https://go.usa.gov/xv3dS (case sensitive).
