Year-Round Funding Help for Local Outdoor Recreation
Trails in Montana need care in all seasons - and the Montana State Parks division of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has just announced funding in their Recreational Trails Program. Over $1.5 million will be used by organizations in a wide variety of plans. They include local efforts.
The huge Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, just west of the Bitterroot Valley, has quite a few trails, and the Selway Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation will use $11,000 to work on about 36 miles of wilderness trails in seven different volunteer maintenance projects this summer. They received similar funding last year.
