The Blaine County Land Advisory Board (LAB) is now accepting pre-applications for its Blaine County Land Water and Wildlife Program. Landowners can review the program guide here, which provides background information on the LAB, the Land, Water and Wildlife Program, as well as information on how the LAB will make funding decisions. The LAB is looking for landowners interested in finding funding for projects that fulfill its mission “to protect lands and water quality in the Big Wood and Little Wood River valleys, protect wildlife habitat throughout the county, and protect working farms and ranches in the county.”
After reviewing this information, landowners can complete a pre-application here. The LAB accepts pre-applications at any time and will evaluate them every month. After the LAB reviews a pre-application, they can recommend that the project complete a full application. The Blaine County LAB website has full information on the entire application and funding process, along with all necessary documents here.
The Pioneers Alliance is a cooperative effort by ranchers, local residents, conservationists and public lands managers to conserve and enhance the natural and cultural values of the Pioneer Mountains and Craters of the Moon landscape of south-central Idaho.
