Dear supporter of wildlife and wildlands,

We appreciate your generous support of public wildlands.

The funds raised have enabled the Flathead-Lolo-Bitterroot Citizen Task Force to do two things: first and foremost, to begin developing our Citizen Forest Plan for the upcoming Lolo and Bitterroot National Forest Plan Revision and to continue organizing opposition to federal and state efforts to relax protections for grizzly bears. Both of these campaigns will require more action and resources over the coming years.

Of particular significance are the GIS maps we're producing that help to illustrate much of our scientific information and research we've compiled. In addition, we are excited about our work on highlighting the need for wildlife linkage zones (corridors) that are essential for the long-term survival of the grizzly, elk and forest carnivores such as lynx and wolverine.

While we won’t be sponsoring a major benefit event this year, we still need financial support essential to fulfilling our mission. That’s why we’re asking you to make a contribution to the Flathead-Lolo-Bitterroot Citizen Task Force. We suggest a $100 contribution, but all amounts are welcome and necessary.

We’re making strong progress in our work to build more support and additional public involvement for western Montana’s most precious wildlife and wildlands. We actively meet and communicate with officials at the city, county, state, federal and tribal levels, sharing information that supports a scientific approach to habitat protection.

Or send a check to FLB Citizen Task Force, P.O. 9254, Missoula, MT 59807.

Sincerely,

Patty Ames, President, Flathead-Lolo-Bitterroot Citizen Task Force

Cass Chinske, Treasurer

Claudia Narcisco, Secretary

Fred Rice, Board Member

Jake Kreilick, WildWest Institute, Task Force Advisor
