Details

Volunteers will be joining forces with the Boise National Forest on Saturday April 11, 2026 to plant willow and cottonwood cuttings in an effort to stabilize the riparian and mitigate sedimentation within the South Fork Boise River. Summer storms in 2025 have reinitiated sediment from the hills that is poised for delivery to the SF Boise and action is needed to help stabilize the ground.

Planting of willow and cottonwood cuttings will be labor intensive and completed with re-bar and mallets/hammers. This work involves moderate to high physical exertion in uneven, unstable terrain within a semi-remote area of the Mountain Home Ranger District. The Forest Service will provide hearing protection for all participants and some tools (limited amount of re-bar and toppers, and hammers/mallets); however, Trout Unlimited volunteers will need to provide personal proper protective equipment (e.g., gloves, eye protection, boots, sunscreen, hats, etc.). Trout Unlimited will also provide re-bar, pruners, mallets, and other equipment; participants may bring personal equipment/tools (e.g., hammer). Participants are responsible for lunch and water.

Volunteers will be meet at 9:30 at the Danskin boat ramp parking area and planting for approximately 5 hours. Volunteers will be utilizing personal vehicles to access the site. Car pool opportunities from the Albertson's on Federal Way is available for Treasure Valley residents. Email us if interested in ride sharing.
