In January 2026, Boise Parks and Recreation removed 7-acres of dense Russian olive thickets from wetlands at Kathryn Albertson Park. Restoration efforts begin in spring 2026, include planting of hundreds of native trees, shrubs, grasses, and wetland meadow plants. Watch as plants grow and provide diverse habitat for wildlife using this urban refuge.
