Location: Swan Valley Office (6787 MT-83).
Agenda Highlights:
Review current Firesafe Swan objectives

*With the recent blowdown event, some neighbors may need extra help cleaning up. If you’re aware of anyone in your area who could use volunteer assistance, please let us know during the meeting or reach out via email. This is not a guarantee we can gather the volunteer resources, but if you know of someone who really needs help, please let us know!
