In appreciation

Blas Lord and Carl Rudeen from March 3, 2016 Sage Grouse Working Group Meeing

Blas Lord hands a basket of cookies to Carl Rudeen from the Mountain Home Sage Grouse Working Group as the organization bid him a fond farewell during its monthly meeting on Thursday. Rudeen, a long-standing member of the organization, who also served as its technical expert, recently accepted a new job position in Japan. "We certainly hope Carl will think about coming back to Mountain Home when the job in Japan ends," said Jeff Lord, the group's manager. The all-volunteer local organization is dedicated to the conservation of sage grouse in this part of the state.
