A Hub of Community Climate ActionWe collaborate across our community and state, building crucial networks to foster a resilient Missoula and Montana, for this generation and the next.
Every year we get together to celebrate these connections, as well as another year of hard work and momentum, with special Smarty Pants Awards for community members. Our Year 4 Celebration and Smarty Pants Awards was simply fantastic. Thanks to all who came and joined us! Thanks to Phoebe Bean for the photographs!
