The Crown Managers Partnership’s 2025 forum theme was focused on the partnership and collaboration across communities and borders in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem. The forum was co-hosted with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, and held within their traditional territory in Pablo, Montana at Salish Kootenai College on April 9th-10th, 2025. The gathering was intended to bring together conservation professionals, community leaders, agencies and members committed to protecting and preserving the region’s unique natural and cultural landscapes; and included a mix of informative sessions, purposeful discussions, as well as fields trips to highlight the important work being implemented on the landscape.
