A group of landowners are working with U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists Carmen Thomas and a whole host of volunteers to help the endangered southern Idaho ground squirrel. Working with private land owners is particularly important to the squirrel since the majority of the reintroduction habitat is on private land. Ranchers such as Joe Hinson of Soulen Livestock Company, have opened up their land to the release of the squirrel. These landowners are also partnering with the Fish and Wildlife Service to restore ground squirrel habitat and native vegetation.
