AGP Executive Report
Last update: 17 minutes agoWildfire Recreation Aftermath: A new study tracking visits to burned sites in California and Colorado finds people keep staying away—especially after bigger, hotter fires—with visitation dropping about 8% in the first year and closer to 20% after high-intensity burns, and in some severe areas not bouncing back even four years later. Idaho Water & Air Quality: Twin Falls is moving from mobile fixes to a permanent solution, installing a $500,000 air scrubber to cut hydrogen sulfide sewer odors starting next week. Local Conservation & Public Lands: The BLM’s short-lived push to treat conservation as a legitimate public-lands use has been rolled back, undoing a rule that would have allowed restoration or protection leases. Idaho Energy & Infrastructure: ITD approved about $7 million to advance the Snake River bridge project through the NEPA process, with major design and construction funding still up in the air. Idaho Outdoors: North Idaho’s Round Lake State Park is rolling out canopy camping in luxury treehouses, plus a hands-on trout release and invasive snail hunt for visitors.
