Going on today at The Patagonia Outlet in Dillon, three experts will be giving talks on snow pack and ways to help sustain the water they produce. The three experts are Dr. Rebekah Levine, a professor in the Environmental Sciences Department at the University of Montana Western, along with Sean Claffey (previously with BLM) and Nathan Korb from The Nature Conservancy.
Know Your Snow is part of the Snowpack Fest which is going on all weekend. Snowpack fest as described by their website is as follows :
