The heart of our mission at WSE is to "preserve the best of the West". Let's work TOGETHER to preserve the unique attributes of this region that brought and keep us here--wide-open spaces, clear streams and rivers, diverse wildlife, and our rural cultural heritage. #wseMT

In years of low moisture, it becomes paramount that we utilize every drop of rain we get. One way we can do this is by caring for our soil and building structure and life below ground that can increase water absorption.

It was refreshing to be in a room of open-minded, innovative thinkers willing to embrace a better way at the Soil Symposium in Billings last week. We walked away revitalized in our efforts to shift the paradigm towards managing as a whole ecosystem. #soilhealth #ecosystemhealth

On February 4th, 1994, WSE was founded by a diverse group of people–small business owners, loggers, miners, conservationists, sportspeople, farmers, and ranchers. Today, 29 years later, we are proud of where we have come from and where we are going!

Today, we celebrate the benefits that marmots, a relative of groundhogs, offer including soil aeration and nutrient mixing that lead to increased biodiversity and soil health! #soilhealth #groundhogsday

Our soil is able to talk to us through the plants we see on the landscape--even weeds! What are your weeds telling you? If weeds are the symptom, what is the problem?

To more about what weeds can tell us, check out the article below.
