Join us in cutting dormant willows for an upcoming lake shore project on Lake Helena! We'll be meeting at the location noted below at 9 am on March 16. Volunteer agreements will be available to be signed that day. Please bring appropriate gear for the weather--boots, coat, hat, gloves, etc.--as well as your own loppers if you have them. We will have some available to share. Please RSVP to Joe Kremer-Herman at joe@lewisandclarkcd.org or call 406-389-3886!
Due to the fact that we discovered a stockpile of willow that had been harvested earlier this winter, that is still dormant, the event that we'd planned for March 25th has been cancelled. Thank you for your support! :) See below for the location of the volunteer event, and please RSVP contact Claudia Lyman, at clyman@macdnet.org.
As part of our year-end activities, the Conservation District puts together an annual report of their activities. It can be viewed here. In December, the board reviewed the planning for 2023 with changes to the Strategic Plan for 2022-2026 and the operations plan for 2023. With the loss of a staff member, we hope to be hiring in 2023 at some point, probably closer to spring. In the meantime, our current staff member, Chris Evans, will be taking some annual leave before year-end and will be back January 3rd. The updated planning documents will be posted once they are finalized…
