PARTNERS & PUBLIC LANDS SEMINAR SERIES: Conversations with BLM Missoula Field Office

Featuring BLM speakers and Marley Held-Wilson and Clancy Jandreau of the Blackfoot Challenge

Whether you’re floating the Blackfoot River, finding a place to hunt on opening weekend of hunting season, or taking the family camping – recreation is a benefit we all enjoy. BLM is working with our fellow land management agencies and Blackfoot Challenge to understand public land uses and how best to respond to impacts from recreation. Come learn how you can be part of a community driven approach to recreation stewardship, and the work Blackfoot Challenge is doing to understand the community’s vision for public lands!

Enjoy a complimentary beer with the lecture!
