BLM Idaho specialists use all the tools in their toolboxes to manage, protect, and restore the Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis)—an iconic, high elevation keystone tree species that provides many ecological services in its habitat. BLM-Idaho manages a small, but ecologically important portion of Whitebark Pine’s range (less than 1% of the species’ total range) within the Challis, Salmon, Cottonwood and Coeur d’Alene field offices.
