Although it has been an emotional and trying few days here in Stanley, Idaho, we are reflecting on cherished memories of our beloved Redfish Lake. There are still ways you can support Stanley and the Redfish community during this time:

👉Stanley, Idaho is Still Open: Despite the situation at Redfish, Stanley remains open, and our air quality fluctuates but remains manageable. Thanks to the wind and the stunning Idaho Dark Sky, we continue our adventures and operations as usual outside the Redfish Lake area.

👉Please Don’t Cancel Your Trips: Your support means the world to our small community, especially now. Visiting Stanley and enjoying its many attractions is incredibly impactful.

👉Recreate Responsibly: This encompasses several key actions. Firstly, note that Stage 1 fire restrictions will go into effect on Wednesday, meaning campfires are only allowed at paid campsites. Secondly, avoid spreading false information about the state of Stanley. Lastly, stay informed about any developments by visiting https://m.facebook.com/SVWFC/.

👉If you want a first hand look at Redfish Lake and the air quality in Stanley, you can visit our website at https://stanleycc.org/live-webcams/

We appreciate your understanding and support during this time. Let's continue to enjoy and preserve the beauty of Stanley together.

A great way to get out and enjoy the outdoors while cleaning up heavily impacted areas!

After a busy summer season we’re teaming up with the Idaho Conservation League, the Environmental Resource Center, Idaho Trails Association, Idaho Rivers United, Sawtooth Interpretive and Historical Society, the Sawtooth Society, and the U.S. Forest Service to recruit volunteers and clean up front and backcountry locations impacted by heavy visitor use.

The 2023 Sawtooth National Recreation Area End-of-Season Cleanup effort kicked off last Friday, September 15th, and runs to Saturday, September 30th. Volunteers are self-guided, choosing the dates that best suit them to address high-use locations within the SNRA. These volunteers are provided with instructions, trash bags, latex gloves, snacks, and other resources to facilitate the work.

Tras una ajetreada temporada estival, nos hemos unido a la Liga de Conservación de Idaho, el Centro de Recursos Medioambientales, la Asociación de Senderos de Idaho, Idaho Rivers United, la Sociedad Histórica e Interpretativa de los Sawtooth, la Sociedad Sawtooth y el Servicio Forestal de EE. UU. para reclutar voluntarios y limpiar los lugares de la parte delantera y trasera de la zona afectados por el intenso uso de los visitantes.

La campaña de limpieza de final de temporada 2023 del Área Recreativa Nacional de Sawtooth comenzó el pasado viernes 15 de septiembre y se prolongará hasta el sábado 30 de septiembre. Los voluntarios se autoguían, eligiendo las fechas que mejor les convengan para ocuparse de los lugares de mayor uso dentro del SNRA. A estos voluntarios se les proporcionan instrucciones, bolsas de basura, guantes de látex, bocadillos y otros recursos para facilitar el trabajo.
