Idaho Department of Lands

Trusted stewards of Idaho's resources, from main street to mountain top

One million forested acres are actively managed to make money for public schools and other Idaho institutions, and for their long-term health. We regulate forest practices in the state and provide assistance to forest landowners and communities to promote healthy, productive forests for years to come.

Lake lots at Payette Lake and Priest Lake will continue to be leased at market-driven rents as we work toward divesting ownership of most of the lots over time. We issue permits for docks and other encroachments under the Lake Protection Act and manage the beds of Idaho's navigable waterways.

IDL fire managers focus on aggressive initial attack to keep fires small, protecting lives, property, and the revenue-generating timber resources we manage.

1.4 million acres of rangeland make up the largest portion of state endowment trust lands, providing a variety of revenue-generating leasing opportunities.

We regulate the exploration, drilling, and production of oil and gas resources on private, state, and federal land in Idaho.

Admininstering the Surface Mining Act and the Dredge and Placer Mining Act are among our duties, along with other regulatory, assistance, and leasing activities related to mining and minerals.

Douglas-fir Tussock Moth Infestation: Salvage Sales
