BLM Withdraws 17 500 Acres for Bannock Refuge Idaho
The Bureau of Land Management proposes a public land order to set aside about 17 500 acres in Bear Lake County Idaho to create the Bannock National Wildlife Refuge. The area includes Mud Lake and Dingle Swamp and has long hosted waterfowl, with management aimed at stabilizing water levels and boosting breeding by Canada Geese and diving ducks. Public protest and a May 18 1986 hearing addressed water rights, grazing without lease, and refuge management benefits.
