Craig Woodson

In Memoriam
CRAIG WOODSON

The Montana Land Reliance (MLR) and the Ruby Habitat Foundation (RHF) lost a good friend and mentor this winter. Both organizations are now faced with the task of carrying out Craig's vision for not just the Ruby Valley or Woodson Ranch, but his vision on how community should work.

Craig Woodson was a big water fisherman; just as he could read big water, he read the currents of the Ruby Valley, setting forth a clear vision for MLR and RHF to carry forward. Craig left us a great gift and will be missed by all of us. Future generations will be nurtured by his dreams of community and well managed agricultural lands.
