During the summer of 2024 the Glendale Fire burned more than 10,000 acres in southern Blaine County, including about 4,600 acres of Rinker Rock Creek Ranch and its associated grazing allotments.
The Nature Conservancy is now working in the wake of the natural disaster to study the effects of wildfire on the ranch’s sagebrush ecosystem.
The 10,400-acre working cattle ranch is owned by The Nature Conservancy and the Wood River Land Trust, both nonprofits, and managed in partnership with the University of Idaho College of Natural Resources and the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences to integrate conservation with science-based rangeland management.
