Acknowledgements 



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

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

 energy to make our program 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 Van Winkle, Pat 

 Flowers, Kurt Alt, Bemie Kuntz, 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. However, 

 their openness and willingness to contribute have made this a better plan. These 

 meetings were productive because of the skill of our facilitator, Virginia Tribe, and we 

 thank her as well.
