This week we’re sharing a special live recording of an 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 hosted a panel with authors Donna Erickson, Bruce Bugbee and Greg Tollefson about conservation successes in the Missoula area. Amidst a backdrop of Missoula’s north hills and surrounded by local food prepared by Liz Kenyon, the group discussed Mount Jumbo, private and public land collaboration and the importance of a community that values the land.
