The Bonner Milltown area is a collection of neighborhoods, old and new. The cleanup, restoration, and redevelopment of the Clark Fork and Blackfoot rivers and their confluence and the shut down and subsequent sale of the mill has brought unprecedented change to this once stable community in the span of a decade.

Do something good for yourself AND the planet!
Walk or ride your bike or the Mountain Line
Turn out lights you're not using
Replace lightbulbs with CFLs
Take a reusable shopping bag to the store
Down with vampires...you don't need garlic, just unplug chargers, toasters and other devices with LEDs when not in use
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Kermit the frog sang, "It ain't easy bein' green," but it ain't hard either once you get into the habit!
