The Northern Rockies is one of the fastest growing regions in the country.
Many of our valleys are feeling the pressure of increased rural residential
growth and this is affecting everything from our tax base to the
environment. Rural working landscapes – farms and ranches – are
particularly threatened by sprawling development that can significantly
impact agricultural operations. But there are ways to maintain the
agricultural lands that form the backbone of our region's identity and
rural economy. Our speakers, rancher Jim Stone and Future West staffer
Randy Carpenter will survey the array of planning tools and strategies for
better managing rural growth and they will illustrate how these are being
successfully applied. While there is no one silver bullet for addressing
this serious challenge, comprehensive strategies that utilize both
regulatory and non-regulatory approaches to protecting rural lands are
showing promise.

more complete understanding of these challenges and related opportunities.
