We are getting together again with our friends from Blasty Bough for a hike and a gathering in the taproom. Join us for a moderately strenuous hike. The walk will start and end right at Blasty Bough Brewing Company (with a shuttle to the starting point). What can you do to protect our drinking water? Bear-Paw is offering three workshops for landowners, their families, and others interested in how land conservation can help protect drinking water.
