campaign, called “Project Beerwater” aims to answer that question by raising
awareness of the role that Missoula’s national forests play in producing clean
water.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Join the National Forest Foundation, the National Wild
Turkey Federation, the U.S. Forest Service and Missoula’s craft breweries to
learn how healthy forests produce clean water, the key ingredient in one of
Missoula’s favorite “forest products” – great beer.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The groups have placed posters, table tents and other
educational materials in the Great Burn, Bayern, Kettlehouse, Draught Works,
Imagine Nation, Conflux and Highlander breweries. Each brewery also has
donation boxes where patrons can support forest restoration activities that
improve our local watersheds.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The NFF will work with the Forest Service to invest funds
raised through the campaign on a watershed restoration project on the Lolo or
Bitterroot. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Various brewery events are scheduled to generate funds and
awareness for Project Beerwater.<span></span></p>
