📰 News we're reading

• Forest Service clears timber project near Blacktail Mountain (dailyinterlake.com) — A major 2,800-acre Forest Service timber project is planned on national forestlands between Kila and Blacktail Mountain starting in fall 2027, bringing new logging activity and temporary roads to the area. Officials say the West Truman Project aims to reduce wildfire fuels and improve forest health, though internal reviews note potential adverse effects on grizzly bears while judging overall disturbance risk low.
