A new episode of "Montana PBS Reports: IMPACT" is set to air on Montana PBS at 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 27. This installment will delve into the staffing levels within the U.S. Forest Service, focusing particularly on how a hiring freeze instituted last fall has impacted the agency's seasonal workforce and affected outdoor recreation in Montana this winter.

Additionally, the episode will explore efforts to combat isolation and loneliness among seniors in Montana, especially in rural areas. This comes more than a year after the U.S. Surgeon General declared these issues a national epidemic.

"Montana PBS Reports: IMPACT" is known for its in-depth reporting on topics significant to Montanans. More information can be found at https://mtpbsreports.org/.

The episode will be available for viewing live on television, online at www.watch.montanapbs.org/livestream/, or via the Montana PBS Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MontanaPBS.
