Boise News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/20

The Trump administration wants to scrap a 20-year-old national rule protecting millions of acres of roadless forests, arguing it’ll help fight wildfires. USDA says 40% of these areas are high fire risk and need access for treatments — but conservationists warn new roads could spark more fires, harm water and wildlife, and ruin recreation. Here’s the twist: Idaho’s already got its own version of this rule since 2008, so the federal repeal doesn’t apply there — a win for local stakeholders who
