As Idaho Rivers United continues to focus on expanding Wild & Scenic River protections in the state, with a goal of doubling our protected river miles over the next five years, we have primarily set our sights on a few high-priority river sections and projects. Wild & Scenic River designation, we know, is achievable through open dialogue and collaboration with stakeholders across the state. 

IRU’s volunteer programs are in full swing this summer. This year, we launched a monthly clean-up effort along the Boise River and started two new stewardship programs – the Sawtooth Salmon Stewardship Program and the Boise Urban River Stewardship Program.
