The two national forests are revising their Forest Plans, which will guide management activities for up to 30 years. The Lolo and Bitterroot National Forests contain nationally significant lands that are part of the largest remaining wildlands area in the lower 48 states retaining virtually all the species present at the time of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. They are also key connectivity areas linking the major blocks of wildlands in the Northern Rockies.
The goal is to have the Lolo-Bitterroot Partnership plan become one of the alternatives in the Forest Plan Revision process. Download the report (PDF).
