Roadless Area management

In 2007, the State of Idaho and the U.S. Department of Agriculture signed a memorandum of agreement for specific regulatory protections and certain management flexibility for the approximately 9.3 million acres of NFS inventoried roadless areas in Idaho.

As part of that announcement, the State invited those affected to develop specific recommendations for the NFS inventoried roadless areas in their areas. More than 50 public meetings were held and the public was encouraged to send individual comments directly to the Governor’s office for consideration.
