Join us at the February 9 general meeting when we welcome Dave Landstrom, Region 1 Parks and Outdoor Recreation Manager for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP). Dave will share information about recent projects undertaken on FWP lands surrounding Flathead Lake. The projects have been geared towards addressing recreational demands for public access to the lake, while simultaneously conserving or improving wildlife habitat.
Specifically, the presentation will highlight erosion control efforts through the installation of dynamic beaches at three locations, reducing recreational impacts on Cedar and Bird Islands, upland habitat enhancement work at Somers Beach State Park, and completion of a substantial renovation at Flathead Lake’s Yellow Bay Unit. Dave has a strong connection to Flathead Lake, spanning nearly three decades.
He began his career with FWP as the Wild Horse Island State Park Ranger in the late 1990s and has served in his current position since 2007.
For those coming to the meeting in person, we’ll meet in Room 26 of the Gateway Mall (United Way building) at 7pm. This room is on the east side of the building along Glenwood Drive in Kalispell. Look for our banner outside.
For those joining virtually, when you use the link, you will eventually be let into a “waiting room” where you will then be added to the meeting by the host. Please sign in with your name when you enter the room so we know to admit you. You will be muted when you first join the meeting. You can use your computer’s microphone and speakers (most computers have both), and this is the preferred way to join. You can also get an audio connection to the meeting without the Zoom visual capability by using your phone.
