Boise District to Conduct Prescribed Burn in Wildlife Management Area
Crews from the BLM-Idaho Boise District plan to conduct a prescribed burn at the Ted Trueblood Wildlife Management Area (WMA) when appropriate weather conditions occur between February 8 and the end of March. The project area, consisting of three units totaling 7 acres, is located about 2 miles north of Grandview, Idaho. The purpose of the project is to restore and improve wildlife habitat characteristics by suppressing noxious weeds. The WMA is co-managed by BLM Boise District and Idaho Department of Fish and Game for the benefit of waterfowl, upland game birds, wading birds and songbirds. It provides an outstanding nesting and brood-rearing resource for resident birds, and a rest and foraging area for a large variety of wading birds, shorebirds and other migratory bird species. BLM-Idaho Boise District Fuels Program Coordinator Lance Okeson said, “Our current rotating schedule of burning units will improve habitat for many species, since the project will suppress noxious weed and create a variety of post fire succession regimes in the WMA.”
