Wednesday September 3rd and 8th.

Join us for a two-part series discussing the past fifty years of history regardomgt the nation's and Montana's wilderness heritage and its influence onour politics. The lectures, presented by Montana's former congressman Pat Williams,will relate the story from the earliest congressional efforts through the past thirty-five years of struggle to complete Montana's wilderness inventory. The Wilderness Act, designating several areas of Montana, was passed into law and signed by President Johnson in 1964. Since then, the efforts to designate new wilderness in Montana have been strained by the state's economy and politics. Pat Williams will review those events though first hand observations.
