The Bitterroot Ecosystem Management Research Project: How did it happen?

Abstract

Greg Jones asked last winter if Leslie Weldon and I present a synoptic paper on the early history of the Bitterroot Ecosystem Management/Research Project (BEMRP). I agreed, as did Leslie, but as you can see she is not here. Leslie had other last-minute commitments to deal with so what you see is what you get. There is far more detail about BEMRP than time here permits; I hope this summary suffices. I've written this strictly from memory, so I hope I have it mostly straight! I'll apologize right up front for any names I've left out.
