“We know that George Nourse is a very popular area, and that people are anxious to sight in their firearms,” said Nichole Schwend, Director of Canyon County Parks, Cultural and Natural Resources. “We apologize for the inconvenience to our users while this short-term closure is in effect. Crews will be working as fast as they can to get this project completed. We ask that the public please respect the closure to allow us to make these improvements for our users in a safe and efficient manner.”
