Programs and Opportunities:
For a "Hands On" nature experience, visit these Nature Centers:
- WaterLife Discovery Center near Sandpoint.
- Lewiston Wildlife Habitat Area in Lewiston.
- The MK Nature Center in Boise.
The MK Nature Center’s proximity to the Boise River and abundant wildlife in the area shows students that nature exists all around them, whether it’s an earthworm in the soil, a human-sized sturgeon in the center’s pond, or mule deer that frequent the grounds.
Nearly every year, there is a boating accident in Idaho involving duck hunters or winter anglers. With water temperatures just above freezing, these accidents can tragically result in a fatality. In the past 10 years nearly 67 percent of the fatal boating accidents in Idaho were the result of victims falling into the water from small boats.
