Whether we are tackling questions like “How to strengthen the local food system” in Custer and Lemhi County Idaho or “How to create more equitable land access for producers while supporting added enterprises on the landscape” in North Central Montana or “How to create more housing opportunities to support the rural community, which the surrounding working lands depend on” in Petroleum County Montana, we are ultimately bringing together those that care for a place and asking them for the solution.
SEEING THE WORLD THROUGH COLOR CONTEMPLATION
As I listened to their grunts and grumbles, the rut certainly close if not already underway, I wondered, what does brown mean? And in that question, I found myself satisfied without an answer, fully present in contemplation and curiosity, completely slack jawed at the vast beauty of Caprock Canyon State Park.
ESCAPE TO OUR PUBLIC LANDS
Though there are countless ways to enjoy natural and wild places, the USFS cabin rental program provides a unique experience to convene with some of the most beautiful places throughout our country. Maintained by the USFS, the cabins are available on a first come, first serve basis by booking through the National Recreation Reservation System. Almost every aspect of staying in a USFS cabin or tower requires a bit more work than a typical vacation rental or cabin-getaway. In our experience, the reward is well worth the (mostly enjoyable) work.
