Piper Creek Project is ready to begin

Piper Creek aims to improve forest resilience by promoting healthy stands that are able to withstand natural disturbances, reduce hazardous fuels to lower wildfire risk to nearby communities, and support local economies through the sustainable production of forest products.

Swan Lake Ranger District will begin work in 2,307 acres of active management, including 1,415 acres of commercial treatments and 892 acres of non-commercial treatments, to address stands of trees that have been affected by insects and disease – such as root rot, dwarf mistletoe, and bark beetles. Removing hazardous fuels in the Swan Valley will reduce the likelihood of high‑severity wildfire near communities.

Forest Service crews conduct prescribed burns to reduce the buildup of dry brush, fallen branches, and other wildfire fuels. This active management work helps to improve wildfire resiliency and slow future wildfire spread.

Our crews plan and carry out each burn with care, under optimal weather conditions, to improve forest health, while reducing wildfire risk to surrounding communities.

Granite Moccasin Project is ready to begin.

Granite Moccasin is an important fuels reduction project designed to reduce wildfire risk to communities, support a sustainable timber industry, and improve forest health and enhance ecosystem resilience in a 40-mile span along U.S. Highway 2.

Hungry Horse-Glacier View Ranger District will begin work in 2,397 acres of commercial treatment and 2,402 acres of noncommercial treatments to meet ecological objectives in and around the wildland-urban interface adjacent to the communities of Essex, Pinnacle, Snowslip, and Fielding, as well as key infrastructure including the railroad and utility corridors, and Montana Department of Transportation facilities. Removing hazardous fuels along the highway corridor will reduce the likelihood of high‑severity wildfire near communities and improve firefighter response and safety in this steep, narrow canyon.
