SUMMARY:Women's Turkey Camp
DESCRIPTION:Join Venery for a hands-on turkey hunting education weekend designed to help you develop essential field skills\, connect with mentors\, and deepen your understanding of ethical hunting and conservation. \nOver 20 hours of experiential learning\, you’ll gain practical knowledge in turkey behavior\, scouting\, calling techniques\, and responsible hunting practices.While Venery’s mentors will be actively hunting\, their role is to teach and support—not guide. This is an educational experience\, not an outfitted hunt\, and there are no guarantees of harvesting a turkey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBetween time in the field\, gather at the community basecamp\, share meals\, and engage in meaningful campfire conversations about conservation\, hunting ethics\, and the benefits of voluntarily using lead-free ammunition for the health of our wildlife\, habitat\, and ourselves. \nWhether you’re new to turkey hunting or looking to refine your skills\, Turkey Camp will prepare you to hunt with confidence and purpose—on your own\, and on your terms.

SUMMARY:A Taste of Indigenous Food with Mariah Gladstone
DESCRIPTION:Join the Great Falls Public Library in the Cordingley Room for this incredible opportunity!\n\n\nWhat are indigenous foods\, where do we get them\, and how do we prepare them? Many native North American foods\, both cultivated and harvested\, were removed from our diets through intentional colonial efforts. Mariah Gladstone is leading the way in a food movement that is revitalizing and incorporating these important foods into the contemporary diet. During her cooking demonstration\, she will prepare one of her original recipes and showcase other indigenous foods that can easily be used in your own kitchen.\n\nMariah Gladstone\, Piikuni (Blackfeet) and Tsalagi (Cherokee)\, grew up in Northwest Montana on and near the Blackfeet Reservation. She graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Environmental Engineering and returned home where she began her work on food advocacy. She developed Indigikitchen\, an online cooking platform\, to revitalize and re-imagine Native foods. She then earned a Master’s degree at SUNY-ESF in the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. Mariah has been recognized as a Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellow by the First Nations Development Institute\, as well as a 2025 Castanea Fellow by the Earth Island Institute. She has shared the importance of reconnecting to traditional foods at events throughout North America and abroad\, as well as through appearances on the Today Show\, CBC\, and numerous podcasts. In addition to all this\, Mariah offers a variety of cultural experiences for visitors to the Blackfeet Nation and Glacier National Park. Mariah released her first book\, Mountains to Oceans: Kids’ Recipes from Native Land\, in January 2025.

SUMMARY:NRCS Regenerative Pilot Program: Making It Work for Your Operation
DESCRIPTION:Curious about the USDA’s new Regenerative Ag Pilot Program? We’ve got a webinar for that! \nWestern Landowners Alliance is hosting an upcoming webinar on the USDA NRCS Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program and what it means for producers across the West. \nThe webinar will provide an overview of NRCS’s new regenerative pilot effort\, which is designed to support producers in adopting conservation practices that improve soil health\, water quality\, and overall working lands resilience. The program builds on existing NRCS tools and programs\, such as conservation planning and financial assistance\, to better support whole-farm\, systems-based approaches to management. \nYou’ll hear directly from NRCS leadership\, including Eric McTaggart\, National Regenerative Pilot Coordinator\, who brings extensive experience in conservation planning and program delivery\, as well as Jackie Byam\, Wyoming State Conservationist\, and Andi Neugebauer-Bailey\, Wyoming State Resource Conservationist. Together\, they will share insights into how the pilot is being implemented\, how it fits within existing NRCS programs\, and what producers can expect when engaging with the effort. \nThe webinar will also feature producers with firsthand experience implementing conservation practices\, offering practical\, on-the-ground perspectives about what works\, what challenges to expect\, and how these practices can benefit agricultural operations in western landscapes.
