Dear North Dakota fishermen and women, We have a severe threat to our North Dakota fisheries developing RIGHT NOW. The Garrison and Valley City Fish Hatcheries which are funded and run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will either have their funding severely cut or will be closed according to the proposed 2012 Federal Fish and Wildlife budget. These fish hatcheries raise more than 15 million fish, including 12 million walleyes for North Dakota waters. The cost of raising these fish is less than 1% of the economic benefit derived from fishing to North Dakota communities and that doesn’t begin to address the pride and enjoyment that having such superior outdoor recreational opportunites in our state brings to all of us. We need to let our Congressmen and the Fish and Wildlife know how we feel about this. The budget cuts($6.2 million for all Federal Fish Hatcheries) are small on a national scale, less than 4 tenths of a percent of the Fish and Wildlife Budget. The Fish and Wildlife is actually requesting an overall increase of $64 million. The Hatcheries are supremely efficient and cost effective(amazing for a Federal Program). Producing the same fish from a private source would cost many times what they do now. The Hatcheries are a model of how various state and federal agencies can work together to achieve a common goal to the benefit of all. Attached is list of the various Fish and Wildlife persons involved in making this critical decision with their mailing addresses and telephone numbers. Also the addresses, emails and telephone numbers of your Congressmen. Take the time to send each one a personal note urging them to reconsider this decision. These hatcheries are critical to keeping North Dakota’s fisheries the superior recreational resource they are today. Clark Williams, North Dakota Sportfishing Congress.

The Report All Poaching (RAP) program is soliciting funds in order to purchase and construct a traveling display trailer. The trailer would contain various mounts seized from poachers, a television to show wildlife related videos, furs, skulls, wings, and an assortment of other materials which help to inform and educate the public about the abuse of one of our state’s most valuable natural resources.
North Dakota’s wildlife belongs to all of us, and it is important to spread the RAP message: reporting poachers helps us to punish those who break the law and assures the conservation and protection of this limited resource. Below is the anti-poaching trailer designed for use by the state of Utah and is similar to the RAP trailer we hope to construct in North Dakota.
The trailer will be equipped with lights, outlets, a generator, two concessionaire’s doors, and other amenities to allow for easy set up and display. The cost to purchase and outfit the trailer is an estimated $20,000. RAP program made the first contribution for the project with a donation of $5,000.
Wildlife organizations, individuals, and sporting goods dealers throughout North Dakota are invited to join the RAP program by contributing to the purchase and development of this trailer in an effort to curb poaching in North Dakota.
The RAP program is a 501 (c) 3 organization, so all contributions are tax deductible.
Sponsorship levels are:
GOLD – $2,500 +
Prominent logo recognition on trailer x2 (up to 20”), recognition on webcast
program, publicity in news releases, online newsletter, story in ND Outdoors
and a sponsor logo on the RAP web page.
SILVER – $1,000 +
Logo recognition on trailer x2 (up to 12”), publicity in news releases, online newsletter and North Dakota Outdoors story.
BRONZE – $500 +
Logo recognition on trailer x2 (up to 6”), publicity in news releases.
SUPPORTER – $100 – 499
Logo or name recognition on trailer.
If you would like someone to make a presentation and answer questions for your organization, please contact Bill Schaller at 290-0495 or Pat Lothspeich at 290-0915.
