The Foundation came in fourth for the amount donated to medium-sized nonprofits—over $6,800! “This was a unique event for Idahoans to support Idaho’s wildlife heritage and the dedicated work to preserve and sustain our fish and wildlife resources for all to enjoy. Thanks so much to everyone who donated! ” said Ann Dehner, Executive Director of the Foundation.

The largest and most popular fish viewing window at the MK Nature Center in Boise has received a new life with an aquatic ecology-themed mural.
Idaho artist Marcus Pierce was chosen to design and paint the mural. Working for several months under tarps and plastic, the mural will be unveiled to the public on First Thursday, May 2, with festivities beginning at 5:30 p.m.
The project was made possible by the Idaho Fish & Wildlife Foundation, Mrs. Willow A. Hahn, The Prestel Family, Lori Schram, Mick and Joey Chase, the Pierose/Leasure families as a gift to their parents, and the Sawtooth Fish Hatchery.
The Morrison Knudsen Nature Center is located behind Idaho Fish and Game headquarters, 600 South Walnut, in Boise.
