Deer
Flat National Wildlife Refuge, in cooperation with Friends of Deer Flat
and 10 other partners, is gathering oral histories about the refuge and
reservoir in association with a Preserve America grant from the National
Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Are
you a local farmer who has a long-term history of farming with Lake Lowell
water? Did you work for the CCC or WPA at Deer Flat NWR during the 1930s?
Are you a long-term refuge neighbor or employee? Do you have a long-term
history of recreating at Lake Lowell?
Then we may want to interview you about your history to fill in historical gaps, provide multiple perspectives, and enrich the story of Deer Flat. Contact us at 208-467-9278 if you are interested in participating.
Scout
Day
Take
a hike! Make a nature craft. Scout day gives you the chance to meet other
scouts, have fun, and earn wildlife badges for girl scouts or cub scouts.
Usually held the first Saturday of each month from 1-3 PM at the refuge
Visitor Center. Download a flyer
to post where scouts will see!
Contact us at 208-467-9278 if you have any questions or would like to attend. Registration is required!

Remove invasive and noxious weeds to improve wildlife habitat. Bring gloves
