Public Attitudes on Natural Resource Conservation Issues - A Review of Recent Polling Results in the West

How are public attitudes shifting on conservation issues?  What lessons are there for Conservationist seeking to engage the public in these issues?

About Montana Conservation Voters Education Fund (MCVEF):  MCVEF is dedicated to building the capacity of Montana's conservation and environmental community to advance conservation issues within the state's democratic process. MCVEF coordinates and fosters cooperation among Montana's environmental groups by arming them with the tools to
inform, expand and mobilize their members as a more potent force in Montana's political landscape. MCVEF seeks to build leadership and involvement in government, in order to preserve and enhance Montana's air and water, open spaces, forests, and wildlife for future generations.

Flathead Valley residents created a local chapter of MCVEF and its
sister group, Montana Conservation Voters in 2002.  We are a grassroots membership organization.
