In the wake of the Pony Complex and Elk Complex Fires and their destruction of substantial habitat along the South Fork of the Boise River downstream of Anderson Ranch Dam, the Ted Trueblood Chapter of Trout Unlimited is organizing a meeting to serve as an open forum for all those concerned at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11th, 2013 at the MK Nature Center.

We believe that it is essential that we work in collaboration and cooperation with our government agency partners in a supporting role. In our view, once they determine the strategy/way forward, priorities of work and requirements, we can then mobilize our constituents and resources to help.
There remain a lot of unknowns and we understand that the assessment of the extent of the damage will not be complete for a number of weeks. As an initial step by those of us in the community, this open forum meeting will include agency representatives to provide information on the post-fire habitat condition of the South Fork of the Boise River. It will provide the opportunity to discuss where we are today, where we think we are going, what we think is needed, and how we might help.
