S. Fish and Wildlife Service Branch of Policy and Planning PO Box 25486 Denver, CO 80225-04865 Please accept the following comments submitted by the Flathead Lakers for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Bison Range Complex Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) development. The Flathead Lakers is a nonprofit, grassroots organization. Our organization was founded in 1958 and currently has over 1,500 members. We work to protect water quality in Flathead Lake and its watershed through education, advocacy and stewardship projects. Our beautiful lakes, rivers and streams, and the fish and wildlife that depend on them are part of what makes the Flathead such a special place and are a large part of its identity. The quality of the environment contributes to our quality of life and our economy. In fact, our quality natural environment has become a competitive advantage and a major force driving economic growth in Flathead County. The Flathead Lakers initiated the collaborative Critical Lands Project in 1999 to address concerns that rapid growth and development would damage lands and waters critical to maintaining the quality of Flathead Lake and its tributaries and the area’s quality of life. The Flathead Lakers coordinate the resulting partnership, the Flathead River to Lake Initiative (R2L), which includes representatives from federal, tribal, state, and local resource management agencies, land trusts, conservation groups and landowners.
