Restoring the Boise River WMA: Volunteers, Waterboxx Technology and the Long Road Back After Fire - The National Wild Turkey Federation Supported through the Idaho NWTF State Chapter Super Fund and implemented in partnership with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the project is focused on restoring critical winter range for deer, elk and wild turkey while improving the long-term resilience of this important public landscape.

Mr. Tyler Dale and Mr. Mike Williamson working together to get a sapling in a water box. These specialized boxes retain water throughout the summer ensuring the trees get the moisture they need.

The last two Wednesdays, our committee spent the evening on top of Lucky Peak planting trees after the Valley Fire of 2024. We planted roughly 50 ponderosa pines in the steep hills. Utilizing special “water boxes” helps ensure the saplings make it through the hot, dry summer.

Help Restore Habitat on the Boise River WMA!

Our NWTF Gem State Chapter is teaming up with Idaho Fish & Game for two evenings of handson habitat restoration and we’d love your help.

We’re planting trees in areas impacted by the 2024 Valley Fire, rebuilding critical winter range for deer and elk right here in the Boise Foothills. It’s meaningful work, great company, and a direct way to give back to the landscape and wildlife we all care about.
