Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over some of the week's biggest headlines for Northwest Montana.
Including what we know so far about the first detection of white nose syndrome in Glacier National Park, a fungal disease that devastates bat colonies.
We'll hear what a national advocacy group has to say about a list of maintenance cuts in national parks, which group members say is a burden on an already back logged list of projects.
The Western News outlines big game hunting season in Region 1, while the Whitefish Pilot interviews a local snowboarder and filmmaker ahead of the debut of his second film "Mosey."
And from the Bigfork Eagle, we'll learn what Bigfork Food Bank officials are doing to expand their services into the nearby community of Creston.
This week's stories were written by Daily Inter Lake reporter Hailey Smalley, Hungry Horse News Editor Chris Peterson, Western News Editor Scott Shindledecker, Whitefish Pilot Editor Kesley Evans and Bigfork Eagle reporter Elsa Ericksen.
