Idaho Outdoor Association

Welcome to the IOA!
Our Mission and Objectives are:

To promote and encourage stewardship of the wildlife, habitat, and recreational resources of the state of Idaho.
To encourage good sportsmanship, ethics, and responsibility in outdoor activities.
To conserve, protect, and help maintain both public and private property used for recreational purposes.
To promote and encourage healthy outdoor activities.

We believe that anyone who participates in outdoor recreation of any kind should be willing to help protect and improve the natural resources of the state of Idaho.

The Idaho Conservation League Presents:

Protecting Our Public Lands

Tuesday, November 11, 2025

7:00 PM @ THE IOA Hall

A presentation from Idaho Conservation League’s, Public Lands and Wildlife Director, John Robison

Idaho's Public Lands are an integral part of who we are and why we live here. Our public lands provide unparalleled recreation opportunities - from rock climbing to whitewater rafting, hunting, fishing, and host some of the best trail systems anywhere. However, Idahoans came perilously close to losing our millions of acres of public lands this summer following a proposal to privatize these public lands.

While we were able to stop this proposal this time, the threat hasn't gone away. In addition, political appointees are slashing the budgets of public lands agencies like the Forest Service and BLM and thousands of federal employees who manage these lands on our behalf, have been fired. Join John Robison to hear the latest news and find out what you can do to protect your public lands.

The Idaho Conservation League is a statewide conservation group dedicated to protecting the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the lands and wildlife you love. John has been working on public lands issues for ICL since 2002.
