Gather with the Missoula conservation community for a free event on Thursday, May 7 from 6:00 – 8:00pm at the Holiday Inn Parkside, 200 S. Pattee St, and learn how you can engage in the century-long struggle to protect some of our wildest public lands.

Conservation leaders will speak about the Trump administration’s plan to open irreplaceable roadless areas to industrial development, followed by a community discussion, and an opportunity to submit a public comment on the Forest Service’s proposal to rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
