Crown Managers Partnership ANNUAL FORUM
This forum is a workshop style event that is focused on conservation priorities. The forum helps with the delivery and implementation of the conservation priorities.
Venues rotate among the two Canadian provinces (Alberta and British Columbia) and the state of Montana. Crown agencies and the public are invited to participate in an agency meeting that coincides with the forum. At this meeting agencies are invited to identify and discuss those issues that need to be addressed at regional or ecosystem scales.
This year it's happening in our backyard. March 10 - 12 at St. Eugene Resort
