Dear Historic Preservation Advisory Board -
Thank you for taking the time to honor notable people in our community with your Historic Preservation awards.
This personal letter is in support of Alison Sweeney’s nomination of Friends of Fowler for the Landscape Heritage
Award.
Friends of Fowler is a model grassroots organization exemplifying what it means to be a true citizen. To me, true
citizens think about what is best for the greater good and the well-being of a community as a whole. Friends of
Fowler recognized the naturalized riparian zone as a public asset worth protecting while advancing active
transportation, a goal of Bozeman's Parks, Recreation & Active Transportation (PRAT) plan. Friends of Fowler's
years of work and collaboration unequivocally resulted in a better outcome for all of us - no matter how we
commute.
In conclusion, Bozeman’s urban forest - and, by extension, the entire Bozeman community - is better off because of
Friends of Fowler. They deserve the 2025 Landscape Heritage Award.
Sincerely,
Angie Kociolek
