Our speaker this week will be Sara Arkle, Foothills and Open Space Superintendent for the City's Parks and Rec Department. Boise's efforts to acquire and protect foothills lands has been remarkable! She is a long-time natural resources advocate and Idaho Conservation League community conservation associate.  As the Foothills Open Space Senior Manager, Arkle will manage public lands and trails in the Foothills and leverage serial levy funds for the protection of open space. She will also oversee the environmental educators at the Jim Hall Foothills Learning Center and Ridge to Rivers staff members.
