Mission statement: The Idaho Foundation for Parks & Lands is a statewide public benefit privately funded organization whose mission is to preserve and protect open space lands and unique natural, scenic settings for public benefit through various flexible conservation methods.
The official website says:
The Foundation works to protect Idaho for the people. Since its beginning in 1972 the Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands, a private nonprofit and nongovernmental, has worked to protect outdoor resources. The foundation has handled more than $12,000,000 in assets and our administrative budget has never been more than one percent of our asset base. Our charter maintains flexibility because Idaho is so diverse. The opportunity for land conservation is entirely voluntary and we only go where we are wanted. There is no maternity ward for terra firma. Two of Idaho’s staunchest park supporters, Governor Robert and Lu Smylie helped in the early development of the land trust in Idaho. Both knew the Harriman brothers well, dined with them at the Railroad Ranch in Island Park, on their private railway car and sometimes in New York. Working with E. Roland and Gladys Harriman, who owned 75 percent of the ranch and W. Averell Harriman with his 25 percent, Governor Smylie wrote the agreements that would preserve all 15,000 acres as a gift to the people of Idaho.

Many thanks for sharing most of these wonderful posts. In addition, the optimal travel plus medical insurance system can often eliminate those concerns that come with travelling abroad. Any medical emergency can soon become very expensive and that’s absolute to quickly decide to put a financial impediment on the family finances. Setting up in place the suitable travel insurance program prior to setting off is definitely worth the time and effort. Thanks a lot
