The University of Montana will host two dozen conservationists from around the world while they explore western Montana over the next several days as part of the 17th annual International Seminar on Protected Area Management.

Participants in the seminar, which is sponsored by the Wilderness Institute and the College of Forestry and Conservation at UM, arrived in Missoula on June 28. UM serves as base camp for participants while they take educational excursions to four national forests, two wilderness areas, the Flathead Indian Reservation, several rural communities and Yellowstone National Park before their trip culminates with a visit to Washington, D.C.
