Diane Moore Nature Center River Access Trail

Boise Valley Fly Fishers (BVFF) provides leadership, funding, and volunteers for service and conservation projects. They noticed an increasing number of “social trails” were degrading native habitat and causing riverbank erosion at the upstream end of the Diane Moore Nature Center where fishermen and recreationists access the river to fish or launch paddle boards, canoes, and kayaks. BVFF partnered with the Intermountain Bird Observatory and Idaho Fish and Game to install landscaping stairs, large boulders and stones, and willow plantings to shore up the bank erosion, and installed new Floater Safety Signage.
