What does caring for the land in Missoula's front country look like? Our 2025 Front County Stewardship Coordinator, Aicia Curran, reports.
To support wildlife in winter, parts of the North Hills, Mount Dean Stone, and Mount Jumbo go under seasonal habitat closures.
This summer, Five Valleys, Republic Services, and the City of Missoula expanded the trails network in the North Hills - a vision 15 years in the making.
In partnership with rancher Clare Bloom, 836 acres of the Upper Flint Creek Valley near Philipsburg has been protected for agriculture and wildlife.
From trail races to hunting, and from wildfires to weed management, partnerships are helping strengthen our work across the Mount Dean Stone Community Forest.
