To support wildlife in winter, parts of the North Hills, Mount Dean Stone, and Mount Jumbo go under seasonal habitat closures.

From trail races to hunting, and from wildfires to weed management, partnerships are helping strengthen our work across the Mount Dean Stone Community Forest.

At the end of 2024, the Roos sisters continued their family's conservation legacy when they finalized a complex, multi-part project that conserved 300+ acres just outside their old hometown of Lincoln.

Thanks to support from the Missoula Open Space bond, 4,271 acres of prime agricultural lands will soon be protected in perpetuity.
