Suppiger dedicated to helping community, youth

Utilizing his role(s) as Lake Pend Oreille School Board trustee and Cocolalla Lake Association Board member, Gary Suppiger was instrumental in creating the association’s annual tours hosted by Idaho Fish and Game with the Southside Elementary School students.

This event provides our local children with an educational guided tour of the Fish and Game wetlands by their staff, the protection the wetlands afford the lake in reducing nutrient loading, and the teaming wildlife they support. This is the type of community stewardship that will keep our local environment healthy. Under Gary’s leadership this event has grown to include outside groups of schoolchildren of various ages. Gary has been generous in volunteering his time. Thank you!
