lace-based groups lift community needs, while finding areas of agreement and shared purpose to meet a variety of resource challenges. Examples of these groups within Montana include the Madison Valley Ranchlands Group, Big Hole Watershed Committee, the Blackfoot Challenge, and the Centennial Valley Association. 

These groups, many of which are landowner and livestock producer-led, may include all or part of a particular community and offer a way to meaningfully engage state and federal wildlife agencies, non-profit organizations and other stakeholder groups to achieve community needs and  outcomes supporting working lands and wildlife. 

Within this webinar, presenters and panelists will convey how these groups form, focus conflicting ideas towards shared vision, and move ideas to implementation
