Elers Koch Lecture

The Elers Koch Lecture honors the legacy of Elers Koch as a forester and conservationist, and his contributions to the arts through his writing, as well as the contributions of the Koch family to Montana culture. The intent of the Elers Koch Lecture is to foster the intersection of the arts, writing, conservation science and the wild by bringing speakers to campus to present to and interact with the university community and the public.
