Did you know that the average North American uses MORE THAN 50 POUNDS of tissue paper annually, and that to make these paper products, companies are purchasing fiber that comes from trees logged in climate-critical forests?

Bitterroot Climate Action Group is thrilled to welcome our newest Board member, Ashley Fischer.

Ashley has been interested in environmental issues for many years. She first experienced what sustainability looked like by watching her father save every scrap piece of metal in his machine shop and take it to get recycled, which instilled in her the desire to incorporate the same practices in her life.

She moved to the Bitterroot Valley and immediately began learning about the interconnection between Indigenous people and environmental stewardship. Through this interest she joined the Indigenous Voices and Bitterroot Climate Action Book Clubs at the Chapter One Book Store. These experiences introduced her to BCAG.

You could probably guess she is the type of woman who loves living in a tiny home with her dog and chickens. She loves any reason to be outside enjoying Mother Earth and all Her beauty.

Welcome Ashley! ... See MoreSee Less

This montage of photos looks back at the events, projects and activities that have put us on the map in the Bitterroot.

Thank you! We look to even more dynamic climate action in 2024 with your help. ... See MoreSee Less

Ready to take action on the climate crisis? There are only a few openings left, and with reservations required and October 9th the last day to do so, don't miss this opportunity!
Join us for the first Bitterroot Resilience Forum, a community discussion about the impacts of climate change. On Oct. 13th, we will learn from local expert, Dr. Bruce Maxwell, on drought, flooding, fire, smoke and extreme heat and how each of these will continue to impact our valley. In addition to being briefed on the current science on these topics, we hope to collectively draw up resilience planning strategies to better prepare our community for a changing climate. Strategies and community discussion will continue into the Oct. 18th session.
