Advisories and Closures

On this page, you may find the following information (when in effect) for BLM regions listed below:

• Seasonal Closures: BLM Idaho winter closures implements seasonal closures across the state to reduce disturbance to wintering wildlife during the most stressful time of year. Closing areas to human activity is important to allow deer and elk to conserve energy and survive the winter.  When animals flee due to disturbances caused by people, they use calories that are needed to survive through the rest of the winter. Pregnant deer and elk are particularly sensitive to disturbances, and stand a better chance of survival when the habitat is free of interactions with humans and pets.
• Recreation Closures: Travel, recreation site closures
• Fire-Related Closures: Closures as result of wildfire
  • Fire restrictions
• Upcoming Events on Public Lands for Awareness
