"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

The nation’s largest land conservation deal may protect far more acres than it actually purchases, by allowing Missoula County to limit development through zoning.

“Yes,” said Pat O’Herren, “it does seem like the purchase project will give us a somewhat more level playing field, in terms of possible zoning.”

O’Herren is director of Missoula County’s Rural Initiatives office, which coordinates the county’s nine planning regions. Under state law, landowners holding 50 percent or more of the private land in any of those zoning districts can automatically quash land-use zoning proposals.
