A reminder that recreation access to IDL land is a privilege. Those that directly pay for permits/usage take priority. IDL has a mandate to raise endowment funds.
We have some great IDL reps here locally that are working hard to expand trails for recreation and we are lucky. Cranky Cowboy, Bitting Goat, and several other projects are because of the collaboration recreationist have had with IDL. The Idaho schools are the biggest beneficiary of their work. Keep an eye out for projects up near Salmon this next year. Some already underway.
Today, Idaho public schools received a record-setting $68,224,800 distribution for the current school year. These funds are generated by endowment lands and endowment investments managed by the Idaho Department of Lands Land Board.
The event featured Christmas songs from the elite singing group, the Capital Choirs from Capital High School - Boise. Their performance has become a tradition in the rotunda.
