He's a farmer ... of trees, and he's not alone

Braving the rain and cold, about 100 people recently took a walk in Ed Levert’s Flathead valley woods. Levert’s woods is no ordinary plot of ground — it’s managed under the Montana Tree Farm guidelines. The folks touring the 158-acre acre parcel were fellow tree farmers, hoping to glean a thing or two about how best to manage the woods for timber, wildlife and diversity.
