Dear Community Member,

Thank you for signing up to be a part of restoration of wildlife habitat on the Valley Fire! This summer certainly hit us with a whammy as we are now left with thousands of mule deer that will be displaced or without much to eat this winter. 

Your assistance will help recreate wildlife habitat on both fires, with the Paddock Fire area home to over 4,000 wintering mule deer, and the Valley Fire area home to a portion of the 6,000-8,000 deer that winter over the entire Boise River Wildlife Management Area.

We have already been hard at work, planting 500 acres with 40,000 seedlings on Paddock Fire this week through IDFG and Mule Deer Foundation.  And we are lining up aerial seeding across both fires and cheatgrass control on Valley Fire.  Your seed collection efforts will contribute directly to these efforts and will ensure we have seed to grow out to seedlings for future plantings.

Below, you will find links to Google Forms where you can learn about and sign up to assist with efforts in November. 

Please sign up with Fish and Game for seed collection days and to get more details as Fish and Game staff will be leading these events.
