Volunteers needed for Free the Seeds!
Volunteer slots are available for the annual Free the Seeds! Fair Saturday, March 2, at Flathead Valley Community College. Organizers expect more than 1,000 people to attend the free event, which will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the FVCC Arts and Technology Building.

Attendees are welcome to volunteer for a time slot before or after they attend workshops,
visit booths or browse the seed swap. To volunteer, visit the website
http://freetheseedsmontana.com/ or email volunteer@freetheseedsmontana.com.
Now in its fourth year, the fair continues its commitment to building a sustainable and resilient future for the community.
