- Prepared for the City of Weiser, the study documents the history, platting, ownership, utilities, access, and future opportunities along the riverbanks of the Snake River and Weiser River within the city of Weiser. The confluence of the two rivers in Weiser has encouraged the community to pursue ideas for future public use and enjoyment. The opportunity exists to reclaiming the riverfront for a greenbelt pathway and a mixture of other uses would strengthen Weiser’s economy and quality of life. To initiate the project the members of the Indian Head Flyfishers Club have been working with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the City of Weiser to build and support a fishing pond for family-oriented fishing.

Chesterfield Conservation Plan
- The operational plan outlines a long-range strategy for the enhancement of the Chesterfield Historic District. The townsite exists intact as a primitive village and rural landscape with little modern development. The plan identifies how the Chesterfield Foundation, which owns much of the townsite, can oversee a coordinated program for site improvements, educational use, enjoyable visitor experiences, better management, marketing, and funding. The strategy includes upgraded buildings, educational programs and recently funded re-construction of the 1901 school for a visitor center and museum.
