AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoPublic Lands and Power: At least 35 data center-related applications cover more than 24,000 acres of federal land across six Western states, including two projects in Idaho: one near Boise and a proposed 3,013-acre site near Shoshone. The proposals raise questions about water, power, wildlife and public input. Wildlife Protections: The Ninth Circuit heard arguments over federal gray wolf protections, with Idaho among the states pushing for population reductions. A ruling could shape wolf management across the West. Water and Restoration: Record heat and shrinking reservoirs have Idaho bracing for another difficult water year. Meanwhile, a $1.4 million state award will support Island Park’s drinking water project, and restoration work at Kackley Ranch aims to protect streams and habitat for generations. Habitat Recovery: Idaho prison programs grew 57,000 sagebrush seedlings for wildfire-damaged sage-grouse habitat and planted native sagebrush at the Valley Fire burn scar.
