Over 60% of the land area in Idaho is federally managed. The Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management hold a combined 32.4 million acres. To put that into perspective, the Department of the Interior holds land in Idaho equivalent to a land area the size of Alabama, which is larger than 25 states. Preservation of public access to public land is paramount, but bureaucrats thousands of miles away should not be making land management decisions in Idaho. Idaho is fully capable of balancing land management, water rights, and ecological considerations. Bottom line, it’s our land, we should decide.
