Bozeman Magazine

The public is invited to join MSU Wonderlust for the next Friday Forum on Friday, October 20 from Noon-1:30pm in the large Community Room at Bozeman Public Library. Rick Reese: Founder of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition and Todd Wilkinson: Environmental Journalist will present “The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: What is it’s Future?” We live next to the one of the largest essentially intact ecosystems remaining in the temperate zones of the earth with an un-paralleled variety and number of wildlife. But the future is racing towards us as we also live in an area of rapid population growth. As Bozeman goes, so goes Greater Yellowstone. What will be the effect of these added pressures on our wild lands?
Discussion will center on efforts to raise visibility on the vulnerability of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and the need to provide fact-based information on the amazing resource we have and the challenges we face. A new online Mountain Journal will play an important role in providing this information.

Friday Forum is a monthly speaker series sponsored by MSU Wonderlust, a nonprofit organization affiliated with
Montana State University's Extended University and hosted by the Bozeman Public Library. It is open to the public. Thereis no fee to attend or registration needed. Brown bag lunches are encouraged. Coffee and tea are provided. Join us!
