The Snake River Field Station, formerly known
as the Raptor Research and Technical Assistance Center, was established
in 1990 by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and became affiliated
with the United States Geological Survey-Biological Resources Division
(USGS-BRD) Forest and Rangeland
Ecosystem Science Center in 1996. The station has strong cooperative
ties with Boise State University,
the field station's host institution, and with six other agencies
and institutions: the BLM, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Idaho
State University, University of Idaho, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-Boise
Office, and the Peregrine Fund, Inc.
The Snake River Field Station is located at
970 Lusk Street on the campus of Boise State University and currently
houses about 40 people. Personnel stationed there include federal
research staff, Boise State University Raptor Research Center staff
and cooperator personnel, and students in the Raptor Biology and
the General Biology Graduate Programs. Facilities include two dry
labs, a geographical information system (GIS) laboratory, and the
Richard Olendorff Memorial Library.
The library contains over 38,000 holdings on the subjects of raptor
ecology, biology, and related topics. Storage facilities for field
equipment are located off-site.
