This is why… Greg McCormick

I've heard too many stories of how rivers, streams, lakes, forests, mountains, and valleys "used to be." You know the stories ... those telling us how pristine things were.

I want kids a hundred years from now to be able to climb a rock and launch into a clear, clean Flathead Lake. I want them to spy a beautiful fish with crimson gills and use their best deception to get it to bite.

Flathead Lake has a 6 million acre watershed. Over 4 million acres have been protected by the creation of Glacier National Park, Great Bear and Bob Marshall Wilderness areas. I want to do what I can to shape policy and practice to minimize the negative impacts on the remaining lands.

The Flathead Lakers have worked to protect water quality since 1958. It's good work. I think everyone should understand and appreciate the rarity of this water body. I think everyone should support the work being done to protect it.

... I've served on the board of the Flathead Lakers for 12 years. -Greg McCormick
