Bear Lake Wildlife Refuge lands set aside in Idaho
Assistant Secretary Harry R. Angerson signed an order withdrawing over 17 500 acres in Bear Lake County for a new Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Senator Frank Church notes the withdrawal respects existing rights and protects Idaho’s claims. The refuge will be managed as a unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System to support waterfowl, nesting Canada Geese, Sandhill Cranes, and ducks. Funds of 10 200 are requested for fiscal 1969 to begin initial management with potential reprogramming for early activities.
