Boulder-White Clouds Bill to be Discussed in Hour-long
Radio Program
Discussion focuses on disparate groups working together in support of
CIEDRA
Can dirt bikes and snowmobiles coexist in the wilderness with elk and deep
silence? Some conservatives, liberals, ranchers and environmentalists in
Idaho think so. NPR News 91, Boise State Radio’s news/talk radio service,
will air an hour-long radio special examining how these groups have cobbled
together an unlikely coalition aimed at conflict resolution and compromise
where wilderness and human activity collide.
“A World of Possibilities” will be heard at 3 p.m. Friday and noon Sunday on
NPR News 91.
The House Resources Committee passed CIEDRA, the Central Idaho Economic
Development and Recovery Act, on Wednesday. It goes to the floor of the U.S.
House of Representatives early next week. CIEDRA would protect 312,000 acres
northeast of Ketchum and southeast of Stanley as wilderness.
“A World of Possibilities” is heard on 270 public radio stations,
nationwide. It was produced by the Mainstream Media Project, a nonprofit
public education and strategic communications organization that uses the
mainstream broadcast media to raise public awareness about new approaches to
longstanding societal problems.
Information on the Boise State Radio network, including KBSU–Arts and
Cultural Programming, Idaho Jazz Station and NPR News 91 is available at
