PARTNERS & PUBLIC LANDS SEMINAR SERIES: Conversations with BLM Missoula Field Office
Featuring Speakers Claire Romanko (BLM), Tess Scanlon (Trout Unlimited), and more TBA
Beavers are having a moment. Scientists and land managers alike have caught the beaver fever. As you’ll hear from BLM and partners with Trout Unlimited, National Wildlife Federation, and Clark Fork Coalition, there are many merits to using low-tech process-based restoration techniques for stream restoration to help restore stream function and hold back the snowpack for greater drought resiliency.
We’ll share the science behind these treatments, and some of our recent project success stories.
Enjoy a complimentary beer with the lecture!
The Missoula Field Office, Bureau of Land Management is excited to announce the “Partners & Public Lands” seminar series!
