Winter Trails/Grooming Needs Support
BSF is currently putting together a grant application for the MT Fish Wildlife and Parks Recreational Trails Program. This grant has been, and is, extremely important for the ongoing ski trail grooming that occurs at Lindley Park, Bridger Crk., Bozeman Crk. and Hyalite. If these trails are important to you, and if you own a business or are part of an organization, please consider writing a letter of support within this next week.
Letters must be included with the the BSF packet and they will not be considered individually, so it is critical to address the letter to MT Fisk, Wildlife & Parks, but sent to BSF.
Letters should be on company letter head and addressed to:
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks
Recreational Trails Program, Parks Division
1420 East 6th Ave.
Helena, MT 59620
**** Please Note**** All letters MUST be SENT to:
Bridger Ski Foundation
Attn: Sharyn Anhalt
PO Box 1243
Bozeman, MT 59771
Feel free to call Doug at 922-1290 with any questions. Thank you!
