Our Mission:
United Payette is a diverse coalition of citizens and organizations collaborating with government and private partners to identify and secure paths to permanently conserve the Payette endowment lands for the public and the health of the ecosystem for generations to come.
We are committed to identifying creative and sustainable solutions to support the Governor and the Idaho Land Board’s constitutional and fiduciary responsibilities to the endowment beneficiaries and citizens of Idaho.
Lands.
Through a broad coalition, United Payette works to identify and provide solutions for a holistic and conservation-forward future for the expansive state endowment lands.
Waters.
The North Fork of the Payette watershed supports a vibrant ecosystem, provides all of McCall’s drinking water, recreational opportunities, irrigation, and other community needs across West Central Idaho.
Community.
Idahoans of all ages and backgrounds use the endowment lands around Payette Lake to hike, bike, hunt, fish, forage, and enjoy other outdoor activities, forming a vital part of the area’s culture and economy.
