POCATELLO The city of Pocatello has requested public feedback on a pair of grant applications submitted through the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation.
The grant money, if rewarded, would go to improvements to the Cusick Creek trailhead and re-grading of City Creek Road.
“We’re excited by the opportunity to work with the Bureau of Land Management, United States Forest Service, and the Idaho Department of Lands on these projects to not only enlarge the popular Cusick Creek Trailhead, but also to fix one of our biggest sources of sediment into City Creek – the road to Kinport Peak,” city spokeswoman Hannah Sanger said in a news release. “This is a win-win for water quality and user experience.”

Over the past four years, President Donald Trump s repeated attacks on the public lands of California and beyond have inflamed the conservation community. The administration gutted conservation laws. It denied climate change. It attempted to slash budgets and hollow out crucial agencies.
Together, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the United States Forest Service and the National Park Service manage more than 40% of the land in California. And despite a dramatic increase in visitation to California’s federally managed parks, forests and rangelands in the past few years, the Trump administration has routinely attempted to reduce resources for those agencies.

Burning will only be conducted under specific guidelines established by the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control, including having adequate snow cover on the ground and acceptable weather forecasts that meet guidelines for safe and effective burning and adequate smoke dispersal.
