The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest is recruiting members to serve on its Resource Advisory Committee, a federal advisory body that makes recommendations on how to spend funds from the Secure Rural Schools program on projects benefiting national forest lands and surrounding communities.
The committee brings together representatives from a range of interests — including timber, recreation, conservation, and local government — to weigh in on projects that can include everything from road maintenance and watershed restoration to trail work. Members serve terms set by the Forest Service and meet periodically throughout the year.
Residents of Lewis and Clark, Broadwater, Meagher, Teton, and other counties that fall within the forest's boundary are eligible to apply, depending on which representative seats are open. The Forest Service has not published a deadline for applications in currently available materials, so interested residents should contact the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest supervisor's office directly for application details and timing.
