The Montana Forest Collaboration Network (MFCN) is primarily a volunteer consensus-based collaborative group, formed in August 2016 to assist collaborative groups across Montana in forest and grassland restoration, conservation, and resource utilization for the benefit of all.
“Collaboratives are the institutional memory of place, and collaborative processes are the future or our nation’s public land. Membership and participation in MFCN clearly reflects the increased open and honest dialogue between natural resource professionals and various public interests through collaboration and collaborative processes.”
-Gordy Sanders, MFCN Chair

“Collaborative groups need to understand the changes facing their agency partners and creatively adjust their operations to respond to those changes.”
-Steve Daniels, collaboration expert at 2024 MFCN Annual Workshop
