   White Clouds Preserve

   Apr 2020 — Present · Clayton, ID, US

   Clouds Preserve “WCP” fosters stewardship, education, and community in Central Idaho. Established in 2020, WCP is dedicated to environmental restoration, research and cultivating educational opportunities. The 432-acre Preserve celebrates the rugged high-desert beauty and solitude that are the defining characteristics of central Idaho. The Preserve is located at the base of the White Cloud Mountains, near the confluence of the East Fork of the Salmon River.The Preserve will work to improve the quality of its land and river health to support fish and wildlife, and to conserve natural resources. It is a refuge for overwintering elk, deer and wild horses and a biodiverse habitat for salmon, trout, pronghorn, eagles and wildflowers. The Lodge at White Clouds Preserve is primarily used for staff and board retreats for local nonprofits. We are cultivating creative ways to utilize The Lodge to serve as a venue for community, connection, research, and education with local schools, universities, volunteers, and beyond. WCP also offers educational scholarships to local students annually.
