SUMMARY:Bitterroot Climate Action Group
DESCRIPTION:The Bitterroot Climate Action Group is pleased to resume a series of informational talks on locally relevant issues related to climate change with “Climate change and animal health\,” a virtual talk by Scott Bovard\, Missoula veterinarian.

Scott Bovard is a small animal veterinarian who has also cared for horses\, camels\, wild mammals (lynx and wolverines)\, and birds of prey.

As part of this effort\, BCAG provided matching funds for the City of Hamilton to purchase an electric vehicle charging station (to be installed at the Bedford Building) and donated ten HEPA filter units to the Burnt Fork Manor\, to help vulnerable residents to cope with wildfire smoke. For more information\, interested people can visit the web site (bitterrootcag.org)\, facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/bitterrootcag/)\, or email the group (BitterrootCAG@gmail.com) to get on the mailing list.
