An Educational Waystation

A new trail kiosk was funded in 2019 by many individual donors as well as grants from the MK Foundation and the Laura Moore Cunningham Foundation. Project management was provided by Idaho Fish and Game.

The trail kiosk was funded just prior to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. A shortage of both labor and materials led to long delays in the completion of the project, but fortunately, a generous donation of construction materials by Boise Cascade allowed us to offset rapidly rising material costs and finish in the summer of 2022.

The front of the new kiosk building has a large window with displays that showcase seasonally relevant content. The back of the kiosk provides much-needed storage for an extensive collection of educational materials used by both staff and volunteers. A generous overhang provides shelter from rain, snow, and sun for visitors and educators.

The kiosk is situated at the junction of several trails, where almost all visitors will pass by and see the changing displays. The new kiosk has been a huge hit with our visitors!
