FOR A GOOD TIME…..
GO FISHING……..
CATCH FISH….
VOLUNTEER !!!
So here’s the deal. At our last Board of Director’s meeting, Jim Olson, FWP Fisheries Biologist asked us for help recruiting volunteers for help cutting willow stakes. The fine folks at The Big Hole Watershed Committee sent this same request in their newsletter. It couldn’t be stated better than Tana did so the request is simply duplicated below. Visit their website here:

The BHWC are some really great folks who love and respect the resource and GGTU supports them. This project is one of several that we’ve been helping fund for the last 3 years. It’s for the fish, right?
So what’s the deal with the above photo? you might ask.
Last week we met Maddie Brenneman. She’s a super cool fishergal who is totally all about the resource so we asked her if we could use some of her photos to help get the word out about the good work GeorgeGrantTU does for resource and access. She was all in on that so here’s one of her photos from FaceBook.
