An open letter to Governor Brad Little:

Sage grouse conservation

As a lifelong Idahoan, I share an interest in protecting our environment and its unique wildlife. I recognize the importance of our natural resources to our economy and way of life. Given the need to protect the balance between environmental stewardship and our economy, I have concerns with the Bureau of Land Management’s sage grouse management plans that have shut out the state and general public from the important decision-making process. I continue to fight for adherence to the solutions for sage grouse habitat generated by the state and associated stakeholders.
