Idaho public lands amendment is good, but don’t buy this lie | Opinion
Idaho Statesman, 8-22-25
It seems that a new amendment dealing with public lands, sponsored by Rep. Ben Adams, R-Nampa, may soon be debated in the Idaho Legislature. T
The language of the amendment would prevent public lands newly acquired by Idaho from ever being sold, though they could be subject to land swaps. It excludes state endowment lands used to support public education.
The unveiling of the amendment has been seen, rightly, as a reaction to the spectacular failure of a plan by U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to force the disposal of millions of acres of federal land throughout the West. That failure demonstrated that there is near-universal opposition, regardless of political party.

Hunters and recreationists: Know current fire restrictions
Bonners Ferry Herald, 8-21-25
Wildfires can threaten public safety, property and productive wildlife habitat, so it’s in everyone’s best interest to prevent them from starting. Carelessness with fire, unfortunately, is the cause of many wildfires, so people need to be extra cautious during late summer and early fall.
Wildfire season typically lasts from summer through the first significant rain or snow of fall, so don't let a chilly evening or a brief rainstorm (or snowstorm) lull you into thinking the wildfire season is over. Follow these tips, rules and guidelines to keep the woods and wildlife safe from human-caused wildfires:
Know the fire restrictions: It can be a little tricky because you have to know who manages the land you’re using, but it’s the responsibility of the user to know if fire restrictions are in place and abide by them. During a hot, dry summer, fire restrictions are highly likely. The Idaho Department of Lands has created a statewide map to show current fire restrictions.

Proposed Amendment Aims to Protect Idaho's State Lands From Future Sell-Offs
Field & Stream, 8-20-25
Recent polls show that most Idaho voters value public lands for things like hunting, camping, and fishing—and they want them to remain in common ownership. Those polls were borne out last June when the state’s congressional delegation played a key role in defeating Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s attempt to sell off more than 3 million acres of federally-managed public lands throughout the West. Now, a state legislator is proposing a constitutional amendment that could prevent future sell offs of Idaho's state-owned lands.
State Sen. Ben Adams’ announced his amendment at a public event in Pine, Idaho last week in front of roughly 30 attendees. It deals with state-owned “endowment lands.” There are currently 2.5 million acres of endowment lands in Idaho, according to Idaho.gov. Though the state was granted more than 3.6 million acres at the time of statehood, “ownership has been consolidated and some land has been sold,” the Idaho.gov website states.
On its website, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) says that roughly 2.3 million acres of the state’s endowment lands are available for hunting, and 96 percent of the entire 2.5 million acres is accessible by foot, watercraft, or vehicle. The IDFG pays the Idaho Department of Land for the hunting access and other recreational uses that Idahoans currently enjoy on endowment lands.

Idaho Department of Lands seeks to balance pending budget cuts with firefighting needs
Idaho Capital Sun, 8-19-25
Idaho Department of Lands officials are seeking to balance state-mandated budget cuts that almost all state agencies face this year with the desire to provide the aggressive and safe wildfire response Idahoans expect, state officials said.
On Friday, Idaho Gov. Brad Little issued an executive order requiring all state agencies, other than public schools, to reduce spending by 3% in the current fiscal year 2026, the Idaho Capital Sun previously reported.
During an interview Tuesday at the Idaho State Capitol in Boise, Idaho Department of Lands Director Dustin Miller confirmed the department is subject to the 3% cuts.
“The 3% holdback planning work is occurring right now,” Miller said. “Nothing’s been finalized, but we are making sure that we continue to maintain strong initial attacks (in response to wildfire) and a robust firefighting force, because we’ve got another four weeks or so – knock on wood – of fire season left. So we’re going to continue to ensure that we’re making the necessary proposals to reduce our general fund component of our budget by 3%, while at the same time still providing that same level of fire protection and services for our customers and the public.”

To protect Idaho public lands, GOP lawmaker wants to change state constitution
Idaho Statesman, 8-19-25
In recent months, protection of public lands has emerged as a rare point of consensus among Idaho lawmakers across the political spectrum, as residents of all political stripes filled their mailboxes with outrage over a federal proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land, including in Idaho.
Now, a conservative lawmaker proposed a way to keep that land public for good. State Sen. Ben Adams, R-Nampa, said he plans to introduce an amendment to the Idaho Constitution that would guard against such plans. At a ceremony near Pine, east of Boise near the Sawtooth National Forest, he unveiled the proposed legislation to prevent Idaho from selling off lands it acquired from the federal government. It would also create a fund to distribute revenues from land use — timber harvesting, grazing and recreation — to public schools in rural communities.

Idaho demands Forest Service wildfire documents
Capital Press, 8-19-25
Idaho’s government has filed a lawsuit demanding the U.S. Forest Service turn over documents explaining its wildfire policies under the Freedom of Information Act.
Earlier this year, the Idaho Attorney General’s Office filed a FOIA request seeking records about the Forest Service’s “use of wildfires for land management,” such as restoring wildlife habitat diversity and reducing the buildup of fuels.
The FOIA submission also asked for documents detailing the federal agency’s plans for “future suppression” and its “non-suppression objectives” in Idaho dating back more than a decade.
In the past, Idaho’s elected officials have criticized the Forest Service’s timber harvest and wildfire suppression policies as being detrimental to the state, which is roughly 60% owned by the federal government.

Idaho legislator unveils text of proposed constitutional amendment to protect public lands from sale
Idaho Capital Sun, 8-15-25
PINE, IDAHO – Surrounded by mountains, forests and the South Fork of the Boise River, Idaho state Sen. Ben Adams on Friday unveiled the text of a proposed amendment to the Idaho Constitution he says would prevent the sale of any future public lands the state acquires from the federal government.
“One thing I do know is that public lands have and should always remain under the ownership of the people for their enjoyment and their benefit,” the Nampa Republican said during a kickoff event at the Pine Cafe in Elmore County. “Today I present a very different vision than the vision that’s been coming out of Washington, D.C., related to our public lands.”
Adams announced last week he will introduce the proposed amendment to the Idaho Constitution during the beginning of the 2026 legislative session that starts in January.

Volunteers, fireboats help battle Sunset Fire
Bonner County Daily Bee, 8-21-25
We, personnel of volunteer fire departments, are asked what do we do all day? Well, here is a brief glimpse into a volunteer firefighter's day whose district is adjacent to one of our many waterways during a major forest fire. In Bonner County, Timberlake, Selkirk Fire, Sandpoint Fire, and Sam Owen Fire all have fireboats as part of their fleet of firefighting apparatus.
Early afternoon of Aug. 14 the pager screeched to life. IDL (Idaho Department of Lands) is requesting Sandpoint and Sam Owen fire boats to help with the Sunset fire northeast of Athol.
Both stations let dispatch know they have received and are on the way. Sam Owen volunteers jump up and grab their radio. The radio crackles with volunteers responding to station one. Adrenalin is already seeping into the blood stream. The Sam Owen fire boat works well with a crew of two who are highly trained for fire boat duty. Two firefighters quickly gear up in their wild land gear and head straight to the marina.

Continued hot and dry conditions are expected to increase potential fire activity, with primary spread projected north toward Talache Road and west into Maiden Creek. Smoke from the fire is likely to be visible from multiple locations.
