A NOTE FROM THE CHAIR
Hello from hot and smoky Montana! Seems like many folks are getting some much needed moisture but we have not been able to catch any. In our landscape we have been “neighbored up” on fire duty for most of this month. There are lots of things we need to be doing on the ranch, but when you have landscape-level challenges you have to find a way to make time for landscape-level responses. Its easy to see the connection when the fires are raging, but if you look close there are a lot of things we all face that can best be addressed by partnering with our neighbors, both locally and around he country. We will be talking about this approach at a number of events this fall including the 10
th
Annual Private Lands Partners Day. I hope to see many of you when the Montana smoke clears!
Yours in Conservation
