Congratulations to 2019 Merlin Community Scholar Fellow, Thomas Baumeister, for making the paper once again with his research and writing on the practical and moral challenges associated with elk shoulder seasons. His article was picked up by four papers across Montana: Helena Independent Record, Bozeman Daily Chronicle, the Missoulian, and Butte Standard.
We were so inspired by the response to the soft-launch of our Corporate Sponsorship program in 2019 that we’re expanding our program in 2020. Our Corporate Sponsorships come with several benefits and help to support our philosophy in the community programs for youth, adults, and everyone in-between.
