BLM Leadership Shift: Stevan Pearce is now confirmed as the new Bureau of Land Management director after the Senate advanced his nomination in a tight party-line vote, setting up a major change in how public lands are managed. Idaho Growth & Infrastructure: Encompass Health says it will build a 50-bed inpatient rehab hospital in Post Falls, aiming to open in 2028—another sign of fast-moving demand in the Inland Northwest. Foothills Debate: In Eagle’s growth corridor, Valnova residents say they moved for nature and community access, while acknowledging the balancing act of protecting the foothills as development expands. Wildlife Watch: Washington’s gray wolf count is up to at least 270 wolves in 49 packs, with fences slowing southward spread. Rabbit Overpopulation: The Idaho Humane Society will stop taking free-roaming rabbits in the Treasure Valley starting May 12, citing a 68% intake jump and limited housing capacity. Heat & Fire Risk: Record-leaning warmth is expected to push across the West and into the Plains, with drought and wildfire risk looming.
