SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Outdoor Business Council (IOBC) is a coalition of businesses and recreation groups dedicated to preserving and promoting Idaho’s spectacular wild lands and waters, and to educating
public officials as to the importance of conservation measures and public lands funding initiatives as drivers for Idaho’s outdoor recreation economy and quality of life. The IOBC provides
a strong voice on behalf of sustainable recreation and of the benefits of healthy lands and waters to Idaho’s important outdoor recreation economy.
The IOBC supports public lands funding initiatives such as the Land and Water Conservation Fund as well as appropriate conservation measures including roadless areas, wild and scenic

endorsement and support of the mission of the IOBC to preserve and promote Idaho’s spectacular wild lands and waters and to educate public officials as to the importance of conservation
measures and public lands funding initiatives as drivers for Idaho’s outdoor recreation economy and quality of life.
