BHA is one of many groups helping promte this Public Lands Rally. As of Feb 18, their are 650 or do RSVP's. It would be great to see at least 1000 people, so please help spread the word. For Facebook users, you can use this link. https://www.facebook.com/events/1368950503179115/?ti=cl
FYI, the event that is on a page called Idahoans For Public Lands. That is not an actual organization, it is just a generic placeholder. All public land users are welcome (bikers, ATV riders, horsemen, bird watchers, campers, etc.)

This info was sent to the Idaho BHA chapter for the upcoming March 4 Public Lands Rally. Feel free to copy and share. As of Feb 25th, there are 867 people RSVP'd and 2,400 people interested in going.
Idaho BHA invites/encourages/urges you to attend the Rally For Public Lands
March 4th at 11:00 AM at the Idaho Statehouse in Boise
This rally is a public event for ALL public land users to show their support for keeping public lands in public hands. See below for more details. An RSVP is not necessary but will help event organizers with planning. RSVP HERE
WHAT TO BRING: Homemade or printed signs. See below for signage info/ideas. Wear clothing that will keep you comfortable to be outdoors for an hour. We suggest wearing hunting, fishing or other outdoor apparel that embodies what you value in our public lands.
WHERE TO PARK: See THIS LINK for a downtown Boise parking map. Walking and biking to the event is encouraged if weather and distance allows.
WHAT TO EXPECT: The rally is scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM in the outdoor area on the capitol steps. Once a group has assembled, a panel of speakers will give short remarks about the importance of public lands. Following the speakers, the crowd will be invited to move inside the capitol for a photo. After the photo(s), there are no further official plans.
During the rally, participants will have the opportunity to share their contact information if they want to become involved in the fight for public lands. This is purely voluntary.
Expect to see media at the event. If you are approached about giving an interview, you have the choice to participate. If you do engage with the media please remember to be clear, concise and respectful in your message.
SIGNAGE IDEAS: Signs can be simple or sophisticated. We suggest using big letters and appropriate language. Simple pieces of paper work but large poster board is better. Here is a YouTube video from BHA friend Randy Newberg that shows some great signs people made for the Montana Public Lands Rally.
Here is a sample of phrases to consider using:
I Love Public Lands Because _______________
Keep It Public
Keep Your Hands Off My Public Lands
State Lands are NOT Public Lands
Public Land Owner
My Public Lands are Not For Sale
I hunt/hike/fish/bike/camp/ski/ride (etc) on Public Lands and I Vote
Public Lands Belong to Me and My Children
Public Lands are an American Birthright
Public Lands are American as Apple Pie
Public Lands are an American Heritage
VOLUNTEER & DONATION NEEDS
Volunteers and donations are needed at the event to help set up tables, direct people, help make signs, etc. To volunteer, lend items, or donate, please contact [email protected] and let her know you are a BHA member.
