OurShed is a comprehensive educational, research, restoration and recreation program which focuses on the Boise River Watershed in western Idaho.  This comprehensive project targets the airshed, watershed, & landshed from southeast Boise to Banner Summit.  It encompasses the Timberline High School's quadrant boundaries in Boise City, (at the eastern end of the Lower Boise River Watershed), up through the Mores Creek drainage, (of the Upper Boise River Watershed), to Idaho City and finally up to headwaters at Banner Summit.  It connects, (K-20), students to resource professionals from governmental agencies, businesses and nonprofit organizations, giving them valuable experience in STEM, (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics), related fields.  OurShed gives students valuable college recommendations, scholarships and recreational opportunities as they develop a deeper "sense of place" and learn how to become more responsible stewards of land.

OurShed was developed by Dick Jordan, an AP Environmental Science teacher at Timberline High School, as as way to reconnect communities with their local environments and give students meaningful experiences in research, education, restoration, and recreation.  Students, within the Shed, also gain valuable experiences in natural resource and outdoor recreation careers and become inspired to continue on into higher education.
