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.
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.
New trails, a new viewing pavilion, and new adventures await at the Confluence!
