Idaho Rangelands

Rangelands cover just over half of Idaho (28 million acres) and provide many goods and services including livestock forage, wildlife habitat, water, and outdoor recreation. Idaho's rangelands are scenic and vast, undulating across incredible canyonlands, riverplains, and mountain foothills. These iconic western landscapes influence the lives and livelihoods of nearly all Idahoans because 90% of Idaho citizens live amidst rangelands or in areas that were rangeland prior to cultivation and development.
