Abstract
The idea of conserving the Boise Foothills dates clear back to the 1950s. However, the backdrop to the city of Boise as we know it today is a result of the foothills serial levy of 2001. On May 22, 2001 the citizens of Boise passed $10,000,000 two-year serial levy for conservation of valuable land in the foothills. Since 2001 the Foothills Conservation Advisory Committee has lead the effort to acquire land. Additionally, Boiseans have also donated money to the effort. Today the Foothills Conservation Advisory Committee continues to leverage the funds to acquire land. After ten years, the City of Boise had successfully acquired 10,300 acres of land in the Boise Foothills.
