Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is proposing to fund the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to purchase the Boise River Addition, a 240-acre parcel of private land located approximately 7 miles northeast of Boise in Ada County, ID. The property adjoins the Boise River Wildlife Management Area (WMA) on the east, west, and south sides. Privately-owned forest resides to the north. The property would be placed under a conservation covenant for permanent wildlife benefit by preventing the conversion of habitat to other land uses. BPA would also provide stewardship funds toward maintenance of the property to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
