About Us
;)
The Thompson Divide Coalition is a broad-based coalition of local ranchers, farmers, hunters, fishermen, recreationalists, conservationists, and community leaders. TDC was formed to secure permanent protection from oil and gas development of the federal lands in the Thompson Divide area.
Members of the Thompson Divide Coalition are unified by concern about impacts oil and gas development may have on the area’s social, environmental, and economic values. Coalition members live, work, and recreate in the area – many depend on use of these federal lands for their livelihood.
To find out more about how you can get involved, please contact TDC's Grassroots Coordinator Judy Fox Perry at foxperry@wildblue.net or email info@savethompsondivide.org
