<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">On June 5th, Future West is hosting a regional conference, "Sustaining the
New West: Bold Visions - Inspiring Actions" to be held at the Emerson
Cultural Center in Bozeman, MT.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">You may recall back in
2017 we hosted "Sustaining the New West: Conservation Challenges -
Conservation Opportunities" in which more than 250 people from around the Northern Rockies attended. That event put a spotlight on an array of
21st Century conservation issues (impacts of growth, climate change, pressure
on public lands, wildlife - transportation conflicts etc.) that we are
confronting in the Northern Rockies. This year's conference will build on that
foundation but focus more on alternative scenarios for the future of our
communities, working landscapes, and wildlands, and the actions needed to make
these visions a reality. It should be a provocative and thought provoking day.</font></p>

terrific lineup of speakers (see attached agenda). And the conference will
include a lunch and reception so there will be plenty of time for networking.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">We're excited to once
again bring together folks from around the Northern Rockies for this event, and
we hope that you'll be there to join in on the discussion and participate in
the community of people helping to identify and achieve these alternative
visions for the future. Please feel free to email me (<a href="mailto:hannah@future-west.org" target="_blank">hannah@future-west.org</a>)
with any questions or additional information. We really hope to see you there!</font></p>
