ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



Many people participated in the development of this plan. Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife 

 and Parks (FWP) would like to express gratitude to all those who committed their time and 

 energy to ensure our program was adequate to meet the needs of bears and the people who live 

 with them. FWP would like to recognize the following individuals who assisted in the document 

 process and preparation: Margaret Morelli, Joan Buhl, Julie VanWinkle, and Tom Palmer. 



Special recognition is due to the following individuals and organizations for their assistance 

 through participation in our workshops. By recognizing their participation, we are by no means 

 implying that they support the plan in part or in its entirety. Their openness and willingness to 

 contribute have, however, made this a better plan. Tliese meetings were productive because of 

 the skill of our facilitator, Virginia Tribe, and we thank her as well.
