Ongoing Background Activities

In addition to the many exciting summer activities, Friends of Dubois Badlands carry on many activities in the background. These include helping BLM monitor potentially negative behavior in the WSA area and updating the signage posts, helping the State clean up debris left on nearby State land, and monitoring the legislative status of the WSA.

But the most exciting new project is called the:

Kingfisher Parcel Special Use Lease Project

The Kingfisher parcel is the quarter section of land that is the primary entrance to exploring the Dubois Badlands WSA. It is accessed at the end of Kingfisher Rd. The parcel belongs to the State and hence is in danger of being sold to increase revenue for the State.

Our desire is to preserve the access as it now is and we will apply for a recreational Special Use Lease from the State to obtain this. For a more detailed explanation go to the Kingfisher Parcel page.
