Kackley Preserve

Project Summary
The 157-acre Kackley property is located on both sides of the Bear River in Caribou County, Idaho, approximately 38 miles north of the Utah border. Most of the Kackley property consists of sagebrush steppe, emergent wetland, riparian, and riverine habitat. These habitats support a range of wildlife, including waterfowl, neotropical migrant birds, raptors, some upland game birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The Kackley property will be managed to retain and preserve a character of undeveloped, natural open space and to conserve and protect fish, wildlife, scenic, historic, archaeological, and cultural values.
