On Saturday, BRLT volunteers spent the morning clearing the way for an awesome new trail for the horseback route for the Poker Ride on 5/30!

The once grown-over trail, which originally followed the irrigation ditch on Lazy Burnt Fork Ranch, will be an option for adventure seekers, in addition to the original Poker Ride trail which follows along a meandering dirt road. Huge thank you to Andrew and his crew from Hensel Phelps and Next Gen member Colleen & Chase Goldberg for the help!

You did it! 👏 You helped BRLT unlock $10,000 for our dollar-for-dollar match from Friends of Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge, as well as the additional $5,000 bonus from generous BRLT supporter Jan Abel!

That's $15,000 for Bitterroot Valley conservation of water, wildlife habitat, working lands, and recreation opportunities for us to enjoy now and for future generations.

Thanks to the Friends and Jan for your generous match, and to YOU for coming together over shared values and moving the conservation needle forward in 2026!
