Clearwater Basin Collaborative

The Clearwater Basin Collaborative is a diverse group of regional interests working together to craft a plan for the protection, use, and management of national forest land within the Clearwater Basin. Click here for a map of the Clearwater Basin in Idaho.

Headwaters Economics is working with the Clearwater Basin Collaborative to better understand the evolving economic and fiscal role of public lands in central Idaho.

On this page you will find reports and background materials on the Clearwater Basin region.
