<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Hi Friends,</div><div>Hope you can attend this Heritage talk on June 15th for a couple of hours and help make sure trapping is not considered a Montana heritage. Conservation organizations like the Montana Wilderness Association steer clear of taking sides on trapping. It's up to us to make sure trapping is not included for protection! Please try to make it. Thanks!</div><div>If you can attend, please let Peg know. <br></div><div>pegster153@hotmail.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>From Peg Brownlee:</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div style="direction:ltr">I really think Footloose needs to be
represented at this! The MWA has periodic meetings about this “project”. I have repeatedly
voiced my objection to the word “heritage”, to no avail.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">I will be able to go, but am hoping for
“reinforcements” to state our concerns about trapping on public lands.
This could be a really good opportunity, if our statements are factual,
compelling and non-emotional. Trappers could
potentially be there, too, as they have a vested interest in keeping
trapping open on public lands. Our having a
<i>former </i>trapper there would be great. Also, having people who hunt or fish but who object to trapping.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Please pass along to others, and let’s see if
we can get a group together. Have them let you (or me) know, so
perhaps we can prepare for making a friendly, respectful statement, or
at least have a loose plan.</div>
