Forest Restoration and the Grizzlies
Watching the Grizzlies game (where my fears about their ability to stop the option are being played out), I had the opportunity to watch a delightful ad from the Montana Wood Products Association. It turns out that they want to “restore” Montana’s forests to combat global warming. Who knew? Go, Griz.

27. September 2007
The debate about Helena’s deer problem is sure to continue, following today’s vote by the state’s Fish, Wildlife and Parks department to not allow the city of Helena to begin using sharpshooters to cull the local deer population.
