@Billings Public Library
Join the Billings Public Library and This House of Books for a presentation by and discussion with the authors of Saving the Big Sky: A Chronicle of Land Conservation in Montana. "The essential purpose of Saving the Big Sky is to inspire the reader to help conserve even more of Montana," write Bruce Bugbee, Robert Kiesling, and John Wright in this compelling study of how six million acres of biodiverse land were conserved in Montana over the past fifty years. Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge about land stewardship has evolved, and since the 1970s tribes, nonprofit organizations, land trusts, and government agencies have conserved land in many creative ways.
