Blackfoot River

On the evening of July 22, the Blackfoot River flow near the bridge dropped below 500 cubic feet per second, less than half of what the median flow is for this time of year.

The BLM can lease land for conservation and restoration purposes, not just for mining, drilling and grazing.

Over the past century, the Blackfoot Valley has been a source of livelihood for many but hasn’t always been treated well. Now, with the help of some partners and federal money, some areas will be restored to a healthier condition.
