Dear HCN,
Local environmental
groups aren’t very well organized and the Idaho Conservation League
is an example of this, said Greg Brothers in a letter to you Dec.
23. The same day High Country News arrived in our mailboxes, our
office manager called Mr. Brothers to find out what had happened.
No one in our office had a recollection of a recent request for a
membership application that went unanswered. Mr. Brothers explained
that his request for membership information was made four years
ago. The office manager then offered him a membership and he
declined, as he is moving out of state. It is unfortunate that Mr.
Brothers’ membership request went unanswered four years ago, and I
apologize to him.
The Idaho Conservation League
is in its 24th year. I have been a volunteer with this organization
for the past 16 years and have always found the staff to be well
organized and timely, both in its response to big issues and to
smaller ones, such as someone calling our office requesting
membership information.
