A healthy, managed forest can survive a large wildfire.
An overgrown, unmanaged forest usually doesn't.
- Tired of breathing smoke from wildfires each summer for weeks on end?
- Do you think much more needs to be done to reduce fuel loads in our forests?
- Do you support a balance of environmental and economic factors in our National Forests?
- Do you support a healthy local wood products industry and jobs?
- Do you know the difference between a clear cut and a well managed forest?
- Ready to roll up your sleeves to make Forest Management 2.0 a reality?
The Big Sky Coalition represents a diverse group of Montanans who believe that current forest management policies are resulting in annual catastrophic fires. These fires present a negative impact on the health and economic interests of Montana citizens, as well as the environment.
Representing what we believe to be a silent majority of Montanans with common sense, we hope to become a unified voice of reason calling for a more balanced approach to environmental issues related to large scale thinning of our national forests and woodlands. We are prepared to be your advocate and fight for your rights!
Our mission is to work with federal and state agencies, as well as non-governmental organizations, and private businesses of all types to bring about changes in the current fire management program.
