At last Tuesday’s Commissioner meeting, Chairman Bill Slaughter began to open the bids for an estimated 230 thousand dollars in United States Forest Service (USFS) road work to be completed this summer. The process was arrested due to the objections of Commissioner Chuck Hinkle.

Forest Advisory group bringing in productive forest advocates
Do you wonder about the health of the forests in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest? What is being done to reduce the threat of wildfire in our area?
