The general focus of Linkage Lunches are presentations from experts to discuss conservation of habitat, connectivity, wildlife, water, or wildness…and all things in between. They may have a local, statewide, nationwide, or global context. But our goal is that each presentation will include some level of connection to how each of us can help tackle connectivity conservation at home in some way.
Come join the Center for Large Landscape Conservation and other practitioners, agency staff, conservation professionals, and any interested members of the public in these exciting lunchtime talks. You won’t want to miss it! Bring your lunch, if desired. All are welcome!
Please join us for our next Linkage Lunch, in December 2025!

Our next presenter is Dr. Brendan Moynahan. He is the Chief of the Wildlife Conservation Branch at the National Park Service, where he leads complex conservation initiatives and advises on critical wildlife issues. He will speak about federal bison conservation through the interconnected lenses of ecology, genetics, and cultural significance.
We hope to see you there!
Cheers from the Center for Large Landscape Conservation’s Missoula staff:
Katie Deuel, Gabriel Oppler, and Kylie Paul
