This Independence Day, let's make sure our celebrations help protect, not harm, our precious public lands! While you're enjoying the great outdoors, please remember: 🚫 Fireworks of all kinds are illegal on BLM public lands. Dry summer conditions mean fire hazards are extremely high. One spark can lead to devastating wildfires. Let's all practice general fire safety: https://ow.ly/gILv50WjHTT

This month, in our continued celebration of National Conservation Lands, we're visiting the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. Centered about 22 miles south of Boise, Idaho, the NCA is home to the greatest concentration of nesting birds of prey in North America. Located away from the nesting areas of the Snake River Canyon, the NCA also hosts the Orchard Combat Training Center, the second largest National Guard training range in the United States. The multi-use of this area is a testament to BLM’s mission - preserving remarkable wildlife habitat, while providing for other compatible uses of the land. 📷 Bob Wick

As the main launch for whitewater rafting, these improvements mean a better experience for visitors—and less maintenance for the site. We invite you to visit to enjoy these upgrades and the river!
