oulder River Drainage YCT Restoration Project: Update 10-13-08: In November 2007, the board approved the chapter supporting a conservation project that FWP has begun in the Silver and Prospect Lakes in the Four Mile Creek drainage of the Boulder River. The project involves the removal of non-native species and the re-introduction of the native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. Due to budget cuts, the funds FWP has available to complete this project are limited. To help meet the funding shortfall, MCFF submitted an application to Montana Trout Unlimited for $1,750.00. This request has been approved. An application for a grant from the Trout Unlimited Embrace-a-Stream program in the amount of $2,000.00 has also been submitted. This application was approved as well. Additionally, the board approved a donation for this project from our chapter in the amount of $250.00. for a total contribution of $4,000.00.  These funds will be transferred to a special fund at FWP for use in support on this project. Updates on this project will be posted as they become available. For details about the exact nature and scope of the project, please see the project summary (pdf).
