Many thanks for the Walker Foundation’s generous grant to the National Wildlife Federation to assist with grazing retirements on the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge (CMR). Since we started this work in 2009 we have retired nearly 65,000 acres. More importantly, through our market approach we have resolved longstanding conflicts between wildlife and livestock.
The Walker Foundation has been a supporter of our efforts from the very beginning, and we deeply appreciate your continued endorsement. Our grazing retirement successes have gained considerable notice in the northern Rockies and we believe this same method can be used to resolve wildlife/livestock conflicts in other regions of the country.
Again, we thank you for your support and look forward to continued partnership for years to come.
