SUMMARY:Return of the Grizzly film premier
DESCRIPTION:This powerful 37-minute documentary follows the path and challenges of the “explorer bear\,” the pioneering young male grizzlies that come from small\, isolated core populations. The grizzly bear needs to explore and pioneer new habitats to spread its gene pool\, and its long journeys are increasingly driven–and hemmed in–by the ravages of climate change. \nMusic by Teague Goodvoice\, doors open at 6 pm\, film at 7 followed by a Q and A.

SUMMARY:Film Sagebrush Gold and panel discussion on proposed Sheep Creek mine
DESCRIPTION:View the acclaimed film Sagebrush Gold about how a lithium mine affected a community in Nevada. Then\, take part in a lively discussion with an expert panel about the proposed Sheep Creek exploration and mining at the the headwaters of the Bitterroot. \nShort film\, Sagebrush Gold: \nA lithium mine being built in Nevada’s remote sagebrush desert promises us as greener future\, but local ranchers\, environmentalists\, and indigenous tribes share a different side to the story. \nPanelists \nBonnie Gestring is the Northwest Program Director at Earthworks\, a national non-profit organization dedicated to protecting communities and the environment against the adverse impacts of mineral and energy development\, while seeking sustainable solutions. Bonnie leads Earthworks’ efforts in Montana\, Oregon\, Idaho\, Alaska and Washington. She is the author of numerous reports on hardrock mining\, and she has been active in campaigns to protect clean water\, fish and wildlife\, and important ecosystems throughout the northwest U.S.\, including Alaska’s Bristol Bay\, Montana’s Cabinet Mountains Wilderness\, and Oregon’s Siskiyou Region. \n  \nLarry Campbell is a retired exploration geologist who has worked in every western state over the course of 45 years of living in the Bitterroot. \n  \nPhil Ramsey is the lead scientist and general manager of MPG Ranch\, a biological research station near Florence. He earned his doctorate for studies of how heavy metals from mine wastes influence the Clark Fork ecosystem. Phil is assisted by his wife\, Bonny-Bleu\, a local realtor concerned about how the mine would affect Montana’s economy and land values. \n  \nJeff Lonn is a research geologist with Montana’s state geological survey at Montana Tech. He has spent over 30 years mapping and studying the geology of western Montana\, including extensive work in the Bitterroot region. He lives in Hamilton. \n
