The Montana Wetland Council meets up to three times per year. The purpose of our meetings are to build relationships, gain knowledge of each others work, and get timely and useful information to make sound decisions and take informed action on shared issues. It you would like to be informed of upcoming meetings or trainings join the Montana Wetland Council listserv.
The Montana Wetland Council relies upon its members to help support and organize Council Meetings. If there are topics that are of interest to you or your organization is willing to sponsor a meeting please email Stephen Carpenedo.
