Bugbee Volunteer Day a Success!
The Rattlesnake Creek Watershed Group is happy to report that our first restoration event was a complete success. On April 26th, over 30 volunteers filled a dump truck full of weeds and planted dozens of native trees and shrubs at Bugbee Nature Area. A big thanks goes out to all the volunteers and to those who provided assistance or donations, including the Montana Conservation Corps, the Missoula Urban Demonstration Project, Vander Meer's Wildland Conservation Services, and the Missoula County Water Quality District.
