HCRC has engaged a part-time facilitator to advance cooperation between the USFS, state agencies, commercial and recreational users, and elected officials. HCRC projects are funded by grants, contributions and volunteers. This RAF grant matches the amount the Idaho Aviation Association has pledged toward the facilitator’s salary.
A seventh airstrip, Sluice Creek, was closed due to an administrative oversight during the establishment of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. The RAF is collaborating with the IAA and the USFS on reopening Sluice Creek airstrip. All parties believe that this objective is achievable.
