Stories from America's Most Important Public Lands Across 193 million acres of forests, mountains, deserts, watersheds, and grasslands, national forests provide a multitude of uses as diverse as America itself. Welcoming 170 million visitors each year to hike, bike, paddle, ski, fish, and hunt, “the people's lands” offer more than just recreation. Timber is harvested, lost habitats are recovered, and endangered wildlife is protected as part of the Forest Service's enduring mission. In Our National Forests, Greg Peters reveals an inside look at America's most important public land and the people committed to protecting it and ensuring access for all. From the story of how the Forest Service grows millions of seedlings in the West each year, to their efforts to save the hellbender salamander in Appalachia, the narrative spans the breadth of the country and its diverse ecology. People are at the center of the stories, whether the dedicated folks in the Forest Service, or the everyday citizens who support and tend to the protected lands near their homes. This complete look at America's National Forests—their triumphs, challenges, controversies, and vital programs—is a must-read for everyone interested in the history of America's most important public lands. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Greg Peters is a freelance writer based in Missoula, Montana. Before writing full time as a freelancer, Greg was the director of communications at the National Forest Foundation where, among many other things, he edited the NFF's magazine Your National Forests. His writing has appeared in National Parks magazine, High Country News, Down East magazine, Big Sky Journal, Outside Bozeman, Missoula Independent, and more. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

Tonight Ednor Therriault and I talk about a place we love.  MONTANA... After living all over the U.S. before bouncing around the Pacific Northwest for 15 years, Ednor settled in Missoula in 1993. It was a perfect fit. His Montana roots run deep: his father was born in the tiny gold-mining settlement of Southern Cross, and his great-great-grandparents homesteaded along Douglas Creek in western Montana in the late 1800's.Journalism and graphic design were Ednor's disciplines in college, and he enjoys a fulfilling freelance career creating music, writing books and articles, and doing design work. He spent his Kerouac-inspired salad days in Seattle before moving to Missoula. Within six months of arriving in Montana's cultural and creative hub, Ednor was playing in a band and had met the woman he would eventually marry. Two years later he assumed the nom de guerre Bob Wire and formed the legendary country rock band Bob Wire and the Fencemenders. Then band had a rollicking live show, and were voted Best Local Band twice by the Missoula Independent. Their fans are legion. Having embraced the larger-than-life Bob Wire persona, Ednor was voted Missoula's entertainer of the year in 2007.Ednor is a naturally curious writer with a quirky sense of humor, and likes examining life on the fringes, bringing light to subjects that aren't covered much in the mainstream. This made him a perfect fit to write his first book, "Montana Curiosities," which was released in 2010 on Globe Pequot Press. The second edition was published in 2016, and the title has become the biggest selling installment in the "Curiosities" series. He has since written "Myths and Legends of Yellowstone," released in 2018, and "Seven Montanas," scheduled for publication in late 2019. Currently, he's at work on "Haunted Montana" and a revision of "Montana Off the Beaten Path."Ednor's writing has appeared in the Missoulian, Montana Magazine, Missoula Lifestyle and Distinctly Montana, and the late, lamented Missoula Independent. He also writes a twice-yearly humor column for Mountain Outlaw magazine, typically featuring his inept attempts at enjoying Montana's outdoor lifestyle. Ednor's first novel, a rock and roll crime story, is being readied for publication.Ednor lives with his wife Shannon in Missoula, and they have two adult children, Sophia and Hudson.www.ednor.com, www.makeitmissoula.com, www.BobWireHasaPoint.com, www.BobWireMusic.net   Become A Monthly Patron Option 1 : $1.00 USD - monthly Option 2 : $5.00 USD - monthly Option 3 : $10.00 USD - monthly Option 4 : $20.00 USD - monthly Option 5 : $50.00 USD - monthly Option 6 : $55.00 USD - monthly Greetings human listeners.  I’m Cameron Brauer and this is My Alien Life Patron page.  https://patron.podbean.com/myalienlife My Alien Life is a podcast for those who have a story to tell, and I really wish I could get to all of your stories.  I promise to do my best..  What is this?  Think of it as an online tip jar.  My Alien Life Patron Page is a website that gives everyone in the world an opportunity to become a patron and support the artists they believe in.  The great thing about supporting My Alien Life is, you get to decide how much you feel comfortable contributing to each podcast.

One of the best ways to educate yourself about a community is to read, watch or listen to their local media. But independent local media outlets are becoming scarce.

Montana Free Press editor Brad Tyer has watched the news business evolve throughout his three-decade career in commercial and nonprofit journalism. “Support for news-gathering organizations — the model has changed,” Tyer tells Lowdown podcast host John S. Adams, his new boss. “But ultimately, a news-gathering organization has got to be supported by people who value the news-gathering.” A longtime editor of the weekly Missoula Independent, Tyer had a hand in hiring and mentoring several up-and-coming Montana reporters, including Adams, who joined the Independent staff in 2005. Tyer edited the Indy from 2002 to 2007, and again from 2016 through 2018, having written a book about environmental justice in Montana and worked as an editor at the Texas Observer in the interim. He found himself “underemployed” when the Independent was closed in 2018. The timing turned out to be fortuitous. After a brief stint editing MTFP stories on contract from Missoula, he moved to Helena in August to join the growing MTFP staff full time, assigning and editing stories from staff and freelance reporters and developing editorial strategies for the future. He’s also taken on the role of coordinating a statewide reporting collaboration among Montana newsrooms in partnership with the Montana Newspaper Association and the Solutions Journalism Network. The project, titled Graying Pains: Challenges and Opportunities in the West’s Oldest State, will debut in early 2020.  Tyer’s pivot from editor to guest on the Lowdown podcast lets listeners eavesdrop on a conversation between longtime friends and colleagues about the importance of building mutually supportive relationships between readers and newsrooms and the daily rewards of finding new ways to thrive in a business being forced to reinvent itself.
