The Flathead National Forest's Flathead County Resource Advisory Committee is currently requesting project proposals. About $299,000 will be available for projects on federal and non-federal lands that benefit National Forest System lands.
About half the funding will be granted to road, trail and watershed projects. Proposals are due Sept. 1. Previous RAC projects have included forest thinning, tree planting and forest health activities; road improvements and dust abatement; noxious weed control activities; trail improvements; recreation restoration and maintenance projects; and enhancement of wildlife and fish habitat.
