Jennifer Thomsen facilitated the 2nd Fish Creek Collaborative Trail Planning Effort workshop in Missoula at the Region 2 FWP headquarters last week. Each collaborative member was instructed to write down their recommendations before the meeting which were fleshed out and discussed throughout the day. There will be additional public comment opportunities when FWP publishes the FCC’s recommendations, and again during the MEPA (Montana Environmental Policy Act) process.
