Pledge Summary

Malad City is nestled in a small valley in southeastern Idaho. Its name comes from the Malad River that begins in the northwestern end of the valley and was named “Malade” by early trappers who became sick from eating the beaver from that river. It is surrounded by several mountain ranges with three reservoirs close by that offer recreation for residents and visitors. The city was founded in 1864 by pioneers that were masters of innovation, hard work, and integrity. They came first for the hay that grew abundantly in the valley, but soon farms surrounded the city, and unique communities were built up with Malad City as the hub. The County is still a farming community. Citizens love the beauties of nature in the Malad Valley. That is one reason why I am interested in committing to monarch and pollinator conservation.
