Which Montana? is our latest publication and will be available soon!

In it we explore what is happening to "The Last Best Place." What does the future for the land hold - if we don’t support U.S. Forest Service's efforts to reduce the size, frequency and destructive force of the wildfires that are incinerating Montana's forests and communities.

Which Montana? examines the history of wildfire, mills, land ownership, stewardship, and management. We take a deep dive into Climate Smart Forestry - based on the science of climate change - and why it matters in finding solutions for our at-risk forests.

Although this publication is about Montana's forests - anyone living in the West will recognize the universal issues and challenges that affect us all. We hope this is the first of many projects for states in the West.

These publications can be used in educational settings and in local, state and national forums. We must move from discussion to action.

This is your tool to further your voice and stand in protection of our forests and communities.
Science based, proactive, with the overlying theme that we must work together. The objective is Forest-to-Community Health. When our forests are healthy and resilient our communities are healthy and resilient. When our forests are in balance - the forest drives the mill. There is always enough and everything thrives.

The relationship between conservation and management is mutually inclusive.
If we want to see change we must insist on practices, decisions, information, and narratives that are mutually inclusive and make Forest-to-Community health the highest priority.
