MOUNTAIN ISLAND LAKE WILDLIFE STEWARDS

Chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation

March 20, 2008 (CHARLOTTE, NC): Mecklenburg, Gaston and Lincoln County residents are invited to attend the first public meeting and celebration kick-off for the newly formed Mountain Island Lake Wildlife Stewards Chapter of the NCWF. The meeting will be Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 7 pm at the CMUD office, 1600 Brookshire Boulevard. 

Prizes, giveaways, and a talk by Mecklenburg’s Water Quality Program Manger, Rusty Rozzelle, will be the highlights of the evening’s kickoff program.  Anyone interested in the future of the Mountain Island Lake and its first residents – the wildlife – are encouraged to attend.  During the meeting we’ll hear from the local NCWF staff, discuss upcoming projects and programs, and welcome new members.

The Mountain Island Lake Wildlife Stewards Chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation’s mission is to preserve and increase the wildlife and wildlife habitat of the Mountain Island Lake area through education, conservation, and preservation of natural resources for today and for future generations.
