WILD TROUT AND CLEAN WATER RALLY: Feb. 25th, 6:15pm at the Boise Center
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 8:42AM
“Bull trout, an Idaho native, are threatened with extinction. The US Fish and Wildlife Service released a revised critical habitat rule for bull trout that would protect thousands of miles of rivers and lakes in five states of the Pacific Northwest. The Sierra Club, along with our conservation partners, supports the FWS proposal because it will help protect our healthy rivers and forest habitat, clean drinking water and wild trout. The bull trout is well known as an indicator species of the larger negative effects from climate change on fish habitats and what is good for bull trout is good for other species like cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, salmon, steelhead, birds, and wildlife.
Boise is the ONLY scheduled public hearing. Activists from all over the country are looking to the people of Idaho to come out and support this historic protection of fisheries of the northwest. Please make it a priority and come!"

What's up with the out of water pic then? Aren't you trying to encourage protection of Bull Trout???
Eww. I don't like that word "activist".
Well done...
Please don't tarnish this great victory for bull trout by branding it as having anything to do with the Sierra Club, and therefore losing the support of anyone who really works to find workable solutions for varying interests.
Im with big Mike
Mike speaks the truth.
Hey Mike. Exactly how big are you? wink wink
