The Cows and Fish members and supporters (referred to as partners previously) recognize the importance of riparian areas and the issues that require resolution: to restore and maintain the health of these vital riparian areas or “green zones”. The task is large and will only be accomplished with cooperation and partnership. None of us is as smart as all of us are; by working together we can bring together the energy, resources, knowledge and wisdom to improve, understand and manage riparian areas.
Cows and Fish members provide input, support, and guidance on achieving Cows and Fish’s mission. We also rely on financial and in-kind support from Donors and Funding Sources to accomplish our goals.
“A cooperative effort of agencies, organizations, producers and community groups.”
The Cows and Fish Board of Directors and Members include local producer and community representatives as well as the following agencies and organizations:
We want to acknowledge the strong linkage and partnering with Riparian and Wetland Research Program (University of Montana) and now with Ecological Solutions Group LLC on riparian health assessment, inventory and classification for Alberta.
