Event Description:
Join MWA's Flathead-Kootenai Chapter for the "History of Mining in North Fork Valley" on Tuesday, July 14 from 3 to 4 p.m. Learn about the history of mining in the North Fork Valley with Jedd Sankar-Gorton, Montana Conservation Corps' Kalispell office program manager. There was a nearly 60-year international struggle between mining companies and environmental advocates over the coal deposit at the headwaters of the North Fork Flathead River. After all was said and done, Canada and the United States agreed to remove mining rights from the basin forever. If you'd like to learn more about the long history of environmental advocacy and coal in the international Flathead River Basin, tune in to Jedd Sankar-Gorton's virtual event on Tuesday, July 14 from 3-4 p.m. We can't wait to see you there!
