Description
This week we’re sharing a special live recording of our recent event - This Didn’t Happen By Accident: Stories of Intention on the Land - hosted by Five Valleys Land Trust at the Line Ranch outside of Missoula.
Justin moderated a panel discussion about conservation success stories in Montana with authors Donna Erickson, Bruce Bugbee, and Greg Tollefson, along with Whitney Schwab, Executive Director of Five Valleys Land Trust. Against a backdrop of Missoula’s north hills and nourished by local food prepared by Liz Kenyon, the group discussed Mount Jumbo, private and public collaboration, and the importance of a community that values open spaces.
