We are a local diverse working group made up of stakeholders, advocates, and interested citizens who are working together to evaluate and determine how we can best maintain and enhance the Island Park area. Our focus is to preserve and protect the remarkable features of our landscapes, resources, and wildlife habitat. We seek to honor our uniquely western lifestyles, our cherished traditional uses, and the outstanding recreational opportunities that Island Park has to offer.
