Following its first event to kick off the new year, Gallatin Conservation District continues its “Land & Water Stewardship for Locals” speaker series with another presentation this month. The next topic to be covered, Forest Health & Management, will take place Thursday, February 5th, at the Gallatin Gateway Community Center. The event begins at 5pm.
Join Jay Pape with Gallatin County Emergency Management and Elias Davis with the Department of Natural Resources (DNRC) to address:
– Forest health in the county and beyond
– Forest pests and diseases, signs and symptoms
– Conifer encroachment and how to keep your grasslands
– How to properly manage your property to reduce the risk of fire
– Resources available in the county to help manage your property
This four-month long series is dedicated to landowners and realtors who are looking to expand their knowledge about our natural resources in Montana and how to properly manage them. These talks are free and open to the public.
