The origin
How they started
Idaho Rivers United describes its work as “Protecting & restoring the rivers & fisheries of Idaho since 1990.” Its May 2026 update says it asked a federal judge for a preliminary injunction against construction of the Stibnite Gold Project, and it has posted on the Hells Canyon Complex relicensing.
How they run
Small and lean
We don’t hold a detailed federal filing for this group. Groups this size often file the short form or run below the IRS reporting line, so there’s no budget or crew to show here, and that’s no knock: some of the sharpest local defense in the country runs this way.
