Wildlife Mitigation
Privada is situated in the Foothills of East Boise, home to mostly historical agriculture and upland, high-desert shrub and sage brush. Living here offers an amazing opportunity to experience native wildlife and plant communities. The Boise Foothills support numerous native plant and wildlife species. Among these are large wintering herds of Idaho mule deer and elk, bald eagle, and some large predators such as bobcat, cougar, coyote, and mountain lion.
The Privada Group recognizes the sensitive nature of the area. The Community supports management and protection of the surrounding local wildlife and habitat. As part of the Privada HOA, we proudly participate in the Harris Ranch Wildlife Mitigation Association.
The wildlife species that inhabit the foothills, seasonally or year-round, rely on a variety of habitats to provide essential food, water, visual and thermal cover, nesting sites and travel corridors. As residents of the Barber Valley, we choose to be good stewards for these resources.

Homeowner Conservation Fund
The Harris Ranch Wildlife Mitigation Plan establishes a Conservation Fund to finance and promote education, and mitigation programs and projects.
Doing our part in living in this beautiful area, Privada will protect its integrity and preserve value to the local wildlife.
Each household participates as follows:
- A $300 deed transfer fee will be levied each time a property is sold in Privada. $200 of which can be refunded if the homeowner, within the first two years of deed transfer, attends a minimum of two community wildlife education presentations and/or habitat restoration projects.
- An annual $100 conservation fee will be assessed per household, and is included in the homeowner association dues.
