Many people have moved to southwest Montana over the last few years. If you have lived in Montana for more than a decade, however, then you know that our climate has been changing for the worse for several years now.

From April 20th to April 28th, 2024, it’s National Park Week! The National Park Service is encouraging everyone to explore their favorite National Park this week.
