Why it is a Conservation Priority
The Draper Wood River Preserve, completed in 2007, ties together many past river and riparian projects in the heart of Hailey by protecting 80 acres and 1/2 mile of Big Wood River frontage. The trade with the State of Idaho, which created the preserve, also included a 40-acre parcel that became a link for further river protection and public access downstream when the 103-acre Preserve at Colorado Gulch conservation agreement was donated at the end of the year.
