Over the years, one of the most asked questions I get from entrepreneurs is what grants are available for new businesses and how do I get a business loan. Securing business capital can be frustrating and defeating for many individuals that have had the dream of turning their unique idea into a new small business. Grants are mostly non-existent for most startups unless your local community organizations or government agencies offer financial incentives. To help reduce barriers for startups, the...
While I was growing up in a modest-sized, hard-working city in Wyoming, my dad happened to live about a two—or three-minute walk from a cemetery. Whenever I was staying with my dad, I would join the neighborhood kids at night as we would make the short walk to go and explore. As a kid, it would always freak me out, and I wanted nothing to do with it, but sometimes, I just wanted to feel like I was part of the group and begrudgingly joined in on the mischief. It was also the first place my dad took me when I was around 14 to try and teach me t...

Two years ago when Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks quietly unveiled a proposal to put Habitat Montana funds toward 30- and 40-year conservation leases, proponents described it as a “new conservation planning tool” while opponents warned of a “sea change” that could weaken one of the state’s most popular habitat protection programs. Now, with Fish and Wildlife Commission approval secured for the first round of Habitat Conservation Leases and another set of agreements open for public comment, Montanans are learning how the program works: An...

The subadult female grizzly bear wasn't hanging around to wait for the trap door to open all the way. She was done with confinement. With the buzz of a drone above her and the Wyoming high country in front of her, she bounded out the culvert-shaped trap when the door was only halfway up. Before her was the wild heart of Wyoming, an entire state away from where she had lived just one day prior. This female grizzly bear, all 204 pounds of her, represents a coordinated and intensive effort several...
