CE Moose (24155330539)

Look closely and you’ll see some of the wildlife that already uses the property. This moose was captured by Upper Snake Field Office staff as they toured the property.

On December 31, 2015, the BLM purchased a conservation easement (CE) along the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River (Henry’s Fork), which led to the protection of 160 acres of prime riparian habitat. The family, who wishes to stay anonymous, has been working with the BLM and Teton Regional Land Trust for several years to make this possible. LWCF dollars were used to make the purchase. The property is located on the Henry’s Fork within the Snake River ACEC and lies approximately eight miles north of Rexburg, Idaho in Madison County. “This property places almost a half mile of river channel frontage,” said Monica Zimmerman, Upper Snake Field Office Recreation Planner. “Part of the property also ties into BLM-managed grounds, which creates a permanent corridor for wildlife in the area.”
