Our Monthly meeting tonight at Kodiak Jax in Stevi. If you want to join us for dinner we will be eating at 6pm and the meeting will start at 7pm.
Tonight we will be going over the BLM proposed Travel and Transportation plans for the Lower Blackfoot. This is an amazing project where the BLM has received 66,000 acres of Private land and is turning it back into Public. Tonight we will be going over their proposed maps and writing comments. This is a great meeting to invite a friend who uses public land in any form as it affects every aspect of land users.

FYI: Early road/trail openings

The Lolo National Forest made a press release about some roads opening early.

The release states:
Seasonal Roads Opening Today on Seeley Lake Ranger District
Release Date: Apr 19, 2024

Roads opening on Seeley Lake Ranger District
Seeley Lake, Mont., April 19, 2024 - The seasonal roads designated to open May 1 on the Seeley Lake Ranger District on the Lolo National Forest are now open.

“With the unusual winter, roads have dried out earlier than normal and staff are out swinging gates open today,” said Quinn Carver, District Ranger, Seeley Lake Ranger District on the Lolo National Forest. “Staff will be starting at the lower elevations to open gates this afternoon, there may be a few at higher elevations that aren’t opened until the weekend.”

The roads that are opening are typically closed seasonally from December 1 to April 30 as designated on the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM). For a list of which roads are open please reference the Seeley Lake MVUM located at https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/lolo/maps-pubs/?cid=fsm9_021428.

The Forest's MVUMs are available both electronically and by hard copy at one of our Forest Service offices. It is the responsibility of Forest users to acquire the most current MVUM and abide by it accordingly. When making decisions surrounding the MVUM, the Lolo National Forest strives to ensure a safe, fiscally feasible road system that provides the greatest benefit to the largest number of visitors with limited risk to the environment.

Forest visitors are reminded to practice safe driving and even though roads are open, weather and environmental conditions should be considered before driving on them.

“Road and weather conditions can change quickly in the spring, visitors are encouraged to put safety first to protect themselves and the people they are with as well as the resources,” said Quinn.

For more information about the Lolo National Forest, please visit the website at [the LNF website] or follow updates on Facebook and X.
