Federation News -MWF Reveals Original Art for Montana Matters Campaign by Bitterroot Artist Cynthie Fisher

Name the Painting/Campaign Contest (click here)

Cynthie Fisher’s painting symbolizes the Montana Matters Collaboration for Conservation effort to promote the restoration of bison to suitable habitat. 

The American bison has largely been overlooked as a valued wildlife resource in North America and specifically in Montana.  The bison, an iconic wildlife species, was once the most abundant species in North America, its presence dominating the Great Plains.  For many, it remains “the symbol of the American West”. Unfortunately, for the last 100+ years the bison as free-ranging wildlife has been left behind during the recovery of nearly all the native large animals.  Many people now believe it is time to bring the bison back into the mainstream as a valued wildlife species.

250 limited edition prints are available for $150, signed posters for $25, and unsigned posters for $15.  You are also encouraged to visit the National Wildlife Federation website (www.nwf.org/RestoringBison) to learn more about its bison conservation efforts and here on the Montana Wildlife Federation websiteabout efforts to promote and enhance the value, visibility, awareness and stewardship of Montana’s wildlife and wildlife habitat.  We hope you too will see why “Montana Matters” so much to those of us who truly cherish those wildlife resources and the opportunity for all to enjoy them.
