FROM THE PRESIDENT

Hello MNLA members! The season has started off strong here in Missoula, with a little more rain than I would like, but I’m thankful my years of living in New England taught me how to finish up landscapes when it just won’t stop raining. We have some exciting new for you: The MNLA Board has been working with the Northern Rockies Tree School, and plans are finalized to bring the NRTS back to Montana! The NRTS will now be operating underneath the MNLA umbrella, with the first Tree School planned for January of 2024, at the Montana Green Expo. We’re really excited to help put this fantastic school on, and look forward to seeing many of you there.

Our next event coming up is our Fall Tour. James Hoiland, our 2nd Vice President, is taking the lead on this year’s tour around Great Falls, MT. We have some great site visits planned; you don’t want to miss it!

Here’s to a great summer, Matt Watts
