Is Idaho known for it's lack of trees?
Southern Idaho (where Boise is) is steppe, so yeah.
Northern Idaho has lots of trees, though.
Boise is surprisingly green actually. It's on the wet side of a rain shadow, at the base of some mountains. There's also a river running through it. Idk what the boise river valley was like historically but there are tons of trees surrounding it right now, and a significant amount of tree canopy throughout the city.
The neighborhoods close to downtown have reasonably sized houses and a lot of tree cover. Still way too much sprawl and mcmansions further out of course.
