Assisting collaboration in forest and grassland restoration, conservation and resource utilization—
for the benefit of all.

Lolo Restoration Committee

The Lolo Restoration Committee (LRC) formed in October 2007 and is invested in taking actions to support sustainable forest management of the areas within and surrounding the Lolo National Forest.  Generally, the LRC focuses on Missoula and Seeley Lake Ranger District projects, and also engages in forest-wide efforts such as the ongoing Lolo National Forest planning process.
The LRC has its own charter and does not utilize a facilitator.  The LRC membership represents a wide range of interests and always welcomes new members.
