FALL CELEBRATION
The Montana Forest Collaboration Network, Beaverhead-Deerlodge Working Group, Beaverhead County Collaborative, and High Divide Collaborative are jointly hosting a celebration to highlight the important role that Forest Collaboratives play in healthy forest management. We would love it if you could join us in Butte, MT to tour the Basin Creek fuels reduction project, and see firsthand what successful collaboration looks like on the ground. After our tour, we will host a lunch and presentations from these groups at Butte Brewing Company.

MFCN Collaborative Leadership Workshop
March 2-3, 2023
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Missoula, MT

MFCN’s Participating Groups’ leaders from throughout the state gathered to share challenges while  identifying commonalities and how purposeful collaboration can foster greater positive outcomes in statewide resource management.

The Leaders completed a survey about their collaborative group.  COMPLETED SURVEYS [click here].

The event would not have been possible without sponsorship by the USDA Forest Service and the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.

Much appreciation to the ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELK FOUNDATION for hosting the workshop at their beautifully remodeled facility in Missoula.

Workshop Group discussion:  How Can the MFCN Advisory Council and the Network Help With Leadership and Strategy/External Communications?

THE MFCN ADVISORY COUNCIL WILL PRIORITIZE THESE TOPICS [CLICK HERE] RAISED BY THE WORKSHOP ATTENDEES AND PLAN THE NEEDED NEXT STEPS.
