The Senator will talk with the community about the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Project, which he is incorporating as part of a forest stewardship bill.

The Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Project will provide the Forest Service with the resources it needs to conduct 10 consecutive years of forest stewardship projects, bring a biomass facility to Seeley Lake to make use of woody debris, and add 87,000 acres to the Bob Marshall and Mission Mountains wilderness areas. Through these provisions, the Project will create over 50 jobs in Seeley Lake, will increase annual wages by about $1.3 million, and will increase local small business income by about $370,000 annually.
