NEXT IDAHO ALPINE CLUB GENERAL MEETING WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2008, 7:30 PM IDAHO FALLS LIBRARY "Owyhee Canyonlands" Senator Mike Crapo has introduced a bill in the Senate (S. 2833) to protect the vast sagebrush steppe and canyonlands in southwest Idaho known as the Owyhee Canyonlands. Layne Bangerter, the senator's State Director for Natural Resources and Environment, will speak to as about the pristine lands and rivers of this unspoiled ecosystem. He'll describe how county officials, ranchers, hunters, conservationists and motorized recreational users recognized the importance of protecting this desert resource and came together and addressed each other's concerns and hammered out an agreement to protect 517,00 acres of wilderness and 315 miles of wild and scenic rivers. This summer the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources reported out the Owyhee Public Lands Management Act of 2008, the bill Senator Crapo drafted to codify the provisions the Owyhee stakeholders agreed upon, and the Senate will vote on the bill later this fall. Be sure to come and learn about the efforts to protect this beautiful part of our state. The meeting is open to the public and all outdoor enthusiasts are invited. For more information contact Bob Tyler at programs@idahoalpineclub.org. About Us The Idaho Alpine Club is based in Idaho Falls, ID and provides opportunities for members to meet and participate together in many different non-motorized outdoor activities. These "common adventure" trips include mountain climbing, backpacking, rafting, canoeing, spelunking, hiking, bicycling, backpacking, kayaking, and trail maintenance. Through monthly programs, the club newsletter and this WWW site, members become better informed about conservation of our natural resources, in safe and enjoyable outdoor recreation, and wise use of the environment.
