  • Helps meet our communities’ desire for outdoor recreation and economic vitality;
  • Provides irrigation and drinking water to communities;
  • Flows through natural and restored fish and wildlife habitat;
  • Offers clean water for swimming and fishing;
  • Inspires people to better understand and appreciate the river and engage in stewardship efforts.

The Boise River Enhancement Network delivers for the Boise River, 2011-2021

In 2011, dozens of people worked together to host a special gathering for Boise River stakeholders and practitioners. Over 100 people from throughout the Treasure Valley attended the From Vision to Reality – Enhancing the Lower Boise River Workshop. Participants agreed that the most important next steps were to form an ongoing network and develop a river enhancement plan. The Boise River Enhancement Network was created in response!  Read our history.
