Conserving, restoring and protecting open lands, special places and wildlife habitat in the Wood River Valley by working cooperatively
with private landowners and local communities to assure these lands are protected now and as a legacy for future generations.

SPRING 2005

Square Lake
In December, 2004, the Wood River Land
Trust acquired 320 acres of land 15 miles
south of Bellevue in an expedited move
to protect sage grouse habitat and shield
the property from development. “It’s prime
speculative real estate and it’s prime wildlife
habitat,” said Land Trust Executive Director
Scott Boettger. “We had to move fast if we
were going to protect it.” The property is
surrounded by public lands, so it is protected
beyond its boundaries as well.
Known as Square Lake (or Rye Grass
Flat), the land was previously owned by Dan
Brown of Bellevue. To preserve this parcel
and part of his family’s legacy, Dan offered

FUNDRAISING FOR SQUARE LAKE

A few years ago, thanks to forward-looking supporters, the Wood River Land
Trust was able to fund an Open Space Investment Account. Because we had
those funds on hand, we were able to move quickly to protect Square Lake.
Now, we must replenish that account so that we are prepared for a similar BLM land
opportunity in the future. Your tax-deductible donation to the Open Space Private land
Investment Account will ensure that the Land Trust is prepared to act when the State of Idaho
need arises. Thank you!

 Connection to the Land...
Through a variety of activities and events, the Wood River Land Trust is
encouraging individuals and our communities to explore how deeply the land affects
all our lives—our connection to the land. The series seeks to inspire a greater
appreciation for our relationship with the land by highlighting the many ways it
benefits our lives and reminds us of our place in the natural world.

 10-year-olds Help Celebrate
WRLT’s 10th Anniversary
During the week of Earth Day last year, as the Wood River Land Trust
entered our 10th year of land protection efforts, 4th grade students in val-
ley schools heard about and discussed land use and animal habitat in
the Wood River Valley. After the presentation, the kids were asked to
produce a poster or other artwork that might express their feelings about
conservation. As expected, the results were from the heart, with much
emphasis on preserving land for wildlife.

Adopt A Preserve
The Wood River Land Trust’s Adopt A Preserve program was
initiated this past winter to encourage greater community
involvement in the enjoyment and stewardship of natural
areas protected by the Land Trust. By being on the land, we
can learn what the land requires and why it is important to
all of us. A core group of volunteers is spearheading the adop-
tion of each of the three preserves.

Cedar Bend
In January naturalist Ann Christensen led a tracking event
hosted by the Friends of Cedar Bend, which includes Patrice
Cole, Dayle Ohlau-Graham, and Liz Zellers. Participants
enjoyed a beginner’s course in winter tracking, and Ann com- 2004 Photo Contest Winner

adopted Bellevue’s Howard Preserve. The Friends of Howard
will take on a real stewardship challenge—eradication of
noxious weeds. They will work with a management plan
developed by the Land Trust staff, who will continue to offer
assistance.

We invite you, too, to get out on the land. If you are inter-
ested in this program, contact Kate Giese, Stewardship
Coordinator, kgiese@woodriverlandtrust.org.

our spirits—and a place to strengthen our calves.” —Sheila Liermann

Square Lake had a year-round spring, it
was important to many sheep ranchers
who regularly brought their trail bands
through Square Lake to the Big Wood
River, crossing on the swinging bridge just
above Magic Reservoir. The lake itself
was formed when the current highway
was built; John allowed highway workers
to scoop road-bed material from the land,
producing a square crater that filled with
spring-fed water.
Those Amazing Birds
Square Lake is critical habitat for greater
sage grouse, the largest upland game bird,
which relies on the spiky, aromatic sage
plant for food, nesting sites, and protec-
tion. Once common on the sagebrush
plains of the Intermountain West, the
sage grouse population has declined by
40% from historic levels as development
and other disruptions fragment its habitat.
The purchase of Square Lake ensures
protection of this habitat but, more
important, preserves a lek, or mating area.
Each spring, male sage grouse congregate
feathers, and inflate and deflate air sacs
on their chests to create loud plopping
sounds. Seeming disinterested at first,
the females ultimately choose their
mates. The pairs do not stay together,
however, and the hens hatch and care
for the chicks.

Congressional Committee Report Threatens Easements
By Kathryn Goldman, Project Coordinator
This winter a report released by the Joint
Committee on Taxation stunned the land
trust community by proposing large cuts
in the available federal tax deductions for
land conservation donations. The propos-
al, if adopted, would profoundly compro-
mise the work of land trusts. Wood River
Land Trust board and staff are responding
to the report. We need the help of every
one of our members and every friend of
land conservation to succeed.
The Proposals
The JCT proposes to make harmful
changes to the incentives for easements
and donations of land. If a landowner still
lives on the property where an easement
is donated, no deduction will be allowed.
The Joint Committee also proposes limit-
ing deductions for conservation easements
to only 33% of the easement’s value,
down from 100%. And the JCT proposes
changing the deductions associated with
donations or bargain sales of land by limit-
ing such donations to the cost of the land
at the time of purchase or, the “basis.”
These measures discourage landowners
from making generous donations that pro-
vide public benefit and penalize long-term

stages of their planning. Our experi-
ence in what “works” may be critical to
the approval process and may dictate
what we will or will not support. There
are several tools in the Land Trust’s tool
box which may enhance a project and
preserve environmental values for public
benefit and enjoyment. Donations of
land or conservation easements, if they
are for the public benefit, are ways to
create a win-win result. Coordination
with agencies, local community groups
and individuals is a hallmark of our
efforts. If a proposal does not meet our
test, it will not gain our support.
Last, to those who say we are con-
flicted by working with developers, I
urge them to look at the alternative.
What might be the result if we were not
involved? I believe that our involve-
ment will serve to better protect the
values we hold dear. We advocated, for
example, the vision of a 35-acre nature
preserve on the Warm Springs Ranch
redevelopment for the recreational and
educational opportunities it will offer
our community and for the wildlife it
will protect. (See Update, page 7). I

results are well worth the potential criti-

Fishery Assessment
altered stretches of river, and that different
stretches of the river are affected by differ-
ent limiting factors:
• From Magic Reservoir to the Glendale
diversion, water quantity is the major
limiting factor as the river goes dry due
to agricultural irrigation each year.
• From the Glendale diversion to Warm
Springs Creek, the fishery is most
affected by stream alterations and
somewhat affected by water quantity.
This is the most productive area of
the river where fish are more densely
concentrated, and the area where we
have the greatest opportunity to
improve the health of the fishery with
restoration efforts, as well as land
protection projects for areas that
haven’t been altered.
• From Warm Springs Creek north to
the headwaters, the fishery is limited
primarily by inherent habitat
conditions such as the colder water
temperatures and lack of nutrients in
the river system. Stream alterations are
not as much of a problem in these units
of the river.
Phase II of the Fishery Assessment
the Big Wood River has been altered, and
creating maps that show these and other
land use changes over time. We will iden-
tify the problem areas and locations for
specific opportunities for improvement and
preservation along the river. Ultimately,
the Wood River Land Trust’s goal with the
Fishery Assessment is to secure the health
of the river and the fishery, even as we
grow as a community. y
