Commuting to the office can look a little different for BLM employees...

Avery, a BLM Realty Specialist, recently shared this photo of a road delay on public lands. In her opinion, it's the best kind of traffic jam!

Our multiple use mission means sharing the land. Our goal is support a wide range of programs in order to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

A huge thank you to the Idaho Conservation Corps for spending the summer keeping your public lands healthy and thriving!

Under the guidance of our Natural Resource Specialist, ICC crews surveyed bull trout populations in the Little Lost River Basin and mended riparian exclosure fence lines alongside the Blackfoot River.

Crews like these represent the future of public land stewardship. Thank you to everyone who got outside with us!

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who braved the hot weather to keep the Salmon River clean and healthy!

At this summer's 8th Annual Salmon River Weeds Pull and River Cleanup, participants picked up trash and pulled invasive weeds from BLM sites along the river. By the end of the day, they'd filled 15 trash bags with spotted knapweed, enough to fill an entire dumpster!

This project was made possible thanks to the hard work of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, Trout Unlimited River Of No Return, and onX Offroad.

Thank you for getting outside with us!

We're reducing wildfire risk and investing in healthy, resilient public lands by conducting aerial herbicide treatments in south-central Idaho. Please avoid treatment areas while work is in progress!

Treatments are scheduled to begin in September and continue through October. They will reduce invasive annual grasses and hazardous fine fuels, maintain strategic fuel breaks, support vegetation recovery following wildfire, and improve the establishment and long-term success of desirable perennial vegetation.

We're proud to reduce the risk of large fires (like this year's Tartar Fire pictured here) and protect wildlife habitat, rangelands, watersheds, and other public resources alongside the U.S. Wildland Fire Service.

Big Grass Fire Closure Update:

The Bruneau and Owyhee Field Offices are amending the temporary closure dated August 26, 2026 by extending and modifying the closure as follows:

• All public lands within the perimeter of the fire remain closed to the public.
• The unburned area around South Mountain that is surrounded by the fire perimeter is closed.
• The unburned area South of Mud Flat Road between the Star Ranch Road and the Yellow House (Pole Creek East) Rd and Big Springs Road (see map)
• The county maintained roads through the fire perimeter remain open, but 2-track roads off of those main roads remain closed.
• All off road motorized travel is prohibited.

The closure will remain in place and is anticipated to be lifted September 19th, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. This closure is necessary to ensure the safety of the public and firefighters engaged in suppression operations on the Big Grass Fire in Idaho. This closure does not affect private land.

Fire Restrictions Lifted; Community Asked to Stay Fire Smart

Widespread and abundant precipitation combined with cooler temperatures have lowered fire danger across the panhandle of Idaho, prompting federal, state, and tribal land managers to lift all fire restrictions, effective immediately.

This decision impacts the Idaho Panhandle National Forests (including lands in Washington and Montana administered by the IPNF), and all Bureau of Land Management, Idaho Department of Lands, Coeur d’Alene Tribe, and private forest and range lands in the five northern counties of Idaho. All other private property owners are advised to check with their fire department for any applicable constraints.

Suppression efforts continue for several fires in the northern panhandle, but recent precipitation and decreased temperatures have lowered fire danger and other indices that inform the need for restrictions. While campfires are no longer restricted, hunters and recreationists are urged to continue to use caution. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure it is cold to the touch before walking away.

🍁Fall is a great time to implement Firewise principles around your property. Learn about the home ignition zone and defensible space by searching online or calling or visiting your local land management office. Fire prevention specialists and foresters are available to connect landowners with information and resources to lower your wildfire risk.

🎆As a reminder, possession and/or use of fireworks is always prohibited on public lands. Burn permits are required for debris burning during closed fire season (May 10-Oct. 20) and will be issued as conditions allow. Contact your local Idaho Department of Lands office for specific information or see http://burnpermits.idaho.gov.
