AMB WEST PHILANTHROPIES ADDS PETER BROWN FROM GALLATIN VALLEY LAND TRUST AS SR. PROGRAM OFFICERBrown to lead AMB West Conservation Fund Starting January 2021 MONTANA – November 19, 2020 – AMB West Philanthropies, which comprises the nonprofit interests of The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation in the Western United States, announced Peter Brown, currently Stewardship Director at the Gallatin Valley Land Trust (GVLT), as Sr. Program Officer for AMB West Philanthropies. Brown will specifically lead the AMB West Conservation Fund in developing policies and priorities, recommending a portfolio of grants with partner organizations, and building community relationships with collaborators that share a vision of conserving and enhancing the unique attributes of the Paradise Valley. “Over the years as both a resident and grant recipient, I have seen firsthand the impact that AMB West Philanthropies and the Blank Family Foundation have had on preserving the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem,” stated Brown. “To become a part of a business and a family that cares deeply about protecting the future of Montana’s working lands, Yellowstone river, wildlife and communities, means becoming part of everything I stand for and am passionate about.” AMB West Philanthropies believes that Montana’s unique ability to connect people to each other and to nature has the power to build stronger, healthier, happier communities, and that we have a role in preserving Montana’s beauty for future generations. Through grant making, convening, advocacy and in-kind services, AMB West Philanthropies has committed more than $7 million to help promote positive change in peoples’ lives and build and enhance the communities in which they live. “Peter’s expertise and genuine passion for preserving this unique landscape will be an invaluable addition to the AMB West Philanthropies team,” said Tawnya Rupe, Sr. Program Director, AMB West Philanthropies. “The health of the land and health of the community are interwoven, and Peter will bring a commitment of fostering diverse community engagement to ensure a thriving community into the future.” Brown is currently Stewardship Director at GVLT where he is responsible for stewarding a large portfolio of conservation easements, which includes 115 projects totaling 49,500 acres of the best wildlife habitat, prime agricultural soils, and scenic open space in the headwaters reaches of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers. Brown enjoys helping landowners locate natural resource management information and reviews conservation stewardship projects in partnership with GVLT’s private land partners.

The History of Christmas TreesThe evergreen fir tree has traditionally been used to celebrate winter festivals (pagan and Christian) for thousands of years. Pagans used branches of it to decorate their homes during the winter solstice, as it made them think of the spring to come. The Romans used Fir Trees to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturnalia. Christians use it as a sign of everlasting life with God.

Nobody is really sure when Fir trees were first used as Christmas trees. It probably began about 1000 years ago in Northern Europe. Many early Christmas Trees seem to have been hung upside down from the ceiling using chains (hung from chandeliers/lighting hooks).

Other early Christmas Trees, across many parts of northern Europe, were cherry or hawthorn plants (or a branch of the plant) that were put into pots and brought inside so they would hopefully flower at Christmas time. If you couldn't afford a real plant, people made pyramids of woods and they were decorated to look like a tree with paper, apples and candles. Sometimes they were carried around from house to house, rather than being displayed in a home.

Know that when you're dining in town this season you will likely experience a longer than normal wait time with limited options. On July 14th, four buildings were lost in a devastating fire, two of which were restaurants. The loss of the fire compounded with strained supply chains, staff shortages, record breaking visitation, and the spread of COVID-19 are all contributors to our stressed dining establishments. Our locals are doing their best to serve our community and visitors. We encourage you to pack your patience when enjoying our variety of excellent dining establishments in Gardiner this season and be gracious to our small community.

Please keep in mind that the following factors are effecting the daily schedule of restaurants:• Limited staffing• Supply chain disruptions/irregularities• Staff testing positive for COVID-19• Seasonal schedule adjustmentsPLEASE NOTE THAT THESE HOURS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE ON A DAILY BASIS.
