Local organizations create online guide to living in the Flathead

Local agencies have teamed up to launch an online resource created to promote responsible living, community connection and sustainable practices for residents, landowners and visitors of the Flathead Valley. 

“How do you care for this place that we all love, so we don’t love it to death?,” asked Constanza von der Pahlen, critical lands program director with the Flathead Lakers, when she spearheaded the effort that resulted in the “Living in the Flathead Guide.”

The idea started two years ago, according to von der Pahlen, when local groups started talking together about creating a resource to expand people’s knowledge of the area, and what it means to exist among nature.
