a grassroots environmental organization |
Cabinet Resource Group (CRG) was formed in 1976 when people concerned with the fate of the Kootenai River, the Scotchman's Peak proposed wilderness, the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, and the Yaak Valley came together to fight for protection of these natural resources. Since then, members of CRG have participated in countless struggles to preserve wild places and promote sensible management of our National Forest Lands |
Habitat issues in the Cabinet Mountains, the Yaak region, and the Clark Fork drainage in western Montana, and the Lake Pend Orielle area in Idaho |
In the face of a lawsuit filed by a coalition of conservation groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service withdrew its approval for the proposed Rock Creek Mine. The agency's action puts the proposed mine on hold while federal biologists reevaluate the project's threat to imperiled grizzly bears and bull trout. This far from settles the issue. We anticipate the USF&WS will come out with a reinforced version of their previous biological opinion and the USFS will then re-issue their Record of Decision. Two state lawsuits and an administrative action against the mine are proceeding. CRGıs board pledged to help raise $10,000 towards the overall legal challenges. This is a polite reminder that CRG has a way to go to meet its goal. Your contributions are tax deductible. [Mailing address at bottom of page]. |
