Greg brings over 20 years of leadership experience in habitat and wildlife conservation, coupled with notable successes in business, positioning him to lead MDF into a new era of growth and impact.

On July 11, the BLM approved seven active herbicide ingredients (including Indaziflam) for immediate use. The US Forest Service and Environmental Protection Agency currently use Indaziflam to conserve our natural resources for the benefit of all user groups.    Steve Belinda, MDF’s Chief Conservation Officer: “MDF applauds BLM for the long overdue approval of Indaziflam for the war against annual invasive grasses on BLM Lands. The use of this has proven to be a great tool for protecting and restoring mule deer habitats against the threats of cheatgrass and other invasive grasses.”   Jesse Shallow, one of the Mule Deer Foundations Mule Deer Biologists stationed in Idaho has been using Indaziflam effectively on over 5,000 acres of Mule Deer habitat controlled by private landowners and the U.S. Forrest Service in Idaho just this year.   “This news from BLM is just so exciting for me” Jesse Said, “Indaziflam is an amazing tool not only in rewilding the landscape across the west to sustain bigger and healthier herds of mule deer but also to manage the ever-growing danger posed by fire every year. Indaziflam is 90% effective, and it kills the roots and seed production in cheatgrass, meaning the plant isn’t hurt, and it isn’t stunted after treatment, it’s GONE!”    Learn more about Indaziflam and its impact at: https://lnkd.in/gdP8GtmT

🌿🦌 Exciting Milestone Alert! 🎉 We at the Mule Deer Foundation are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking contribution of $2.2 million towards habitat restoration across Utah. This initiative marks a historic moment in our ongoing efforts to preserve and enhance mule deer habitats throughout the region. Thanks to the Watershed Restoration Initiative (WRI) and collaborations with state agencies and conservation groups, we're funding over 100 projects that promise to bolster wildlife populations and ecosystem health across all five regions of Utah. This year alone, we've helped secure a record $4.8 million in total pledges, with MDF proudly leading the charge. This achievement is not just about numbers; it's about the lasting impact we're making on the ground. From restoring vital habitats to ensuring the sustainability of our cherished mule deer populations, every project we fund is a step towards a more vibrant and resilient natural world. A huge thank you to all our partners and supporters who make this work possible. Your commitment fuels our mission and amplifies our impact. Together, we're not just conserving nature; we're creating a legacy of conservation that will benefit generations to come. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible for conservation in Utah and beyond! #ConnectedByConservation #WildlifeHabitat #MuleDeerFoundation #Sustainability #CommunityImpact #Utah
