Welcome to MontanaForests.org!
Montanans love their national forests – which support our families, communities and our outdoor way of life. But our forests are in trouble. Government gridlock, unprecedented beetle-kill and growing forest fire risk threaten all that, while our small, local sawmills teeter on the brink of survival. From Livingston to Libby, Montanans have been working together to provide jobs, protect our water, safeguard key wildlife habitat and improve forest conditions. Thanks to Sen. Jon Tester, Congress is now considering the Montana-made Forest Jobs and Recreation Act. It’s all about Montanans coming together to set their own future. Please learn more and tell your friends about MontanaForests.org.
