BCAG Climate Awareness Project
We can no longer count on the federal government to provide the public with truthful information on climate change, at least with the current administration.
Read more about BCAG's new project to raise awareness among decision makers.
Making a real difference in mitigating the effects of climate change can seem daunting. But a very powerful action you can take is to simply support local businesses that employ sustainable practices, which promotes your health, animal welfare, and the local economy. Read more here.
Thousands of dollars worth of HEPA filters distributed by BCAG
Seniors and/or medically challenged individuals and households have received a total of 45 HEPA portable room purifiers for this year's fire season at no charge to them through private contributions and a generous grant from the Rapp Family Foundation.
This sustainable program (BCAG also makes replacement filters at no additional charge) is one of the ways that your support has helped our local community, and the positive feedback we've received is gratifying. We thank all donors, and especially the Rapp Family Foundation for supporting this effort. More about this program here.

People still making climate claims even after the climate scientists admitted it was all bogus ?
🚨Don’t miss this historic court hearing!

Over two days, Judge Christensen will hear arguments and witness testimony on two filings: the youth plaintiffs’ motion to halt three pro-fossil fuel executive orders until their case is decided, and the federal and state governments’ motions to dismiss the case.

Join BCAG at the Hamilton High School Library on Thursday, April 24, from 7:00 - 8:30 pm for a fascinating evening of local students presenting their ideas on forest stewardship for the Bitterroot. HHS’s two Envirothon teams will practice for the state and national competitions that test their skills and science knowledge in responding to challenge questions and hypothetical, real-life situations. The two teams of five students will have had 3 hours to design and prepare their arguments about forest stewardship in a changing climate and how to apply these ideas to the Bitterroot Valley.
