Why Now?
In these changing times it has never been more important to discuss the important topics and issues around the outdoor recreation way of life and economy, in Montana, the Crown of the Continent Region, nationally and internationally. More than ever we need to focus on building resiliency in our lives and businesses. The outdoor recreation industry and surrounding economy are renewable and sustainable- together we will work for today and for the future.
The 2020 Business of Outdoor Recreation Summit will cover outdoor recreation education; impacts of recreation on landscape and wildlife; challenges of population fluctuation in gateway and rural communities; recreation use in times of emergency; commercial recreation use now and in the future; Community Outdoor Recreation Realization pathway; health and wellbeing of recreation integration; significance of recreation in veteran’s lives; and how do we communicate the needs of outdoor recreation to our elected officials and policy makers.
