BLM acquires Queens Crown parcel in south central Idaho

SHOSHONE, Idaho — The Bureau of Land Management today announced acquisition of the 281-acre Queens Crown parcel bordering the Blaine County Transfer Station in south central Idaho. BLM acquired the parcel from the Wood River Land Trust with money from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).

BLM’s Shoshone Field Office will manage these new public lands to connect wildlife migration corridors, improve habitat conservation, and expand public access to the area. Mule deer and antelope traveling between the Wood River Valley and the Snake River Plain frequently migrate through this parcel.
