[Erin Clark]

The Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce’s Forest Resources Committee invites the public to attend the third and final 2026 Forest Conversations event on Wednesday, March 11, from 6:00–7:30 p.m., featuring a discussion on tribal perspectives on forest management with members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe’s Forestry and Fire and Tribal Relations Divisions. March’s conversation will be led by:

  *   Katie McDonald, CSKT Tribal Relations Specialist
  *   Kaylie Durglo, Reserved Treaty Rights Land (RTRL) Project Coordinator
  *   Justin Underwood, CSKT Fuels Project Planner



The evening’s presentations and conversations, hosted on the ancestral lands of the Salish and Kootenai people, will explore the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ approaches to coordination and restoration, and cultural perspectives about our native forests from river bottoms to high elevation species.



The event will be held in the Balsamroot Conference Room at the Missoula Butterfly House building (GM Marks Exploration Center), located at 1075 South Avenue West, Missoula.



This event is free and open to the public, and complimentary non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.



The Forest Conversations series is co-hosted by the Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce’s Forest Resources Committee and the Missoula Conservation District and is designed to foster community dialogue around forest stewardship, science, and management in western Montana.
