NNFP Visits Montana for Outreach and Communications Project

As part of a Conservation Innovation Grant received by the Swan Ecosystem Center, members of NNFP's team visited the Swan Valley to conduct interviews and shoot photos for a series of landowner profiles which will be used for outreach to landowners in the Valley. Out of this trip we also hope to develop business and organizational profiles that tell the story of folks working for sustainable forestry and rural livelihoods.

This project is part of a growing body of work that NNFP is undertaking to communicate stories of sustainable forestry rural job creation.

Storytelling as a tool for outreach and engagement of landowners



Over the last year, NNFP has been partnering with the Swan Ecosystem Center (SEC) in Condon, Montana to develop a strategy to connect with, inform, and engage new landowners in the Swan Valley region.

NNFP visits the Northwest woods

I visited Montana last week with a videographer who has been doing some work with NNFP to interview landowners in the Swan Valley and to begin work on developing some multimedia pieces to use as tools for communicating with and engaging landowners in forest stewardship practices. I'll share more about that in the next day or two, and we'll be posting some high-quality photos as they are formatted. For now I wanted to share these photos I took of a recent tour hosted by NNFP member NorthSlope Sus… Continue

While these words were said more than fourty years ago, they resonated today as I watched the inauguration of a new president and his first public address, and heard clearly the role NNFP members and supporters need to have in the restoration of our economy and ecosystems.
