Montana Grants Awarded
2005
Blackline Buttress, Montana (2005)
A grant was awarded to the Forest Service for the Blackline Buttress trail rehabilitation and construction project. The targeted trail is 1.5-2 miles long, with roughly 800 feet of elevation gain. The trail needs drainage work, downhill retaining walls, and retreading. The grant will be used for materials, an informational bulletin board, and trail marker signs.
Blackleaf Canyon, Montana (2005)
The Teton River Watershed Group was awarded a grant for educational outreach for the Blackleaf Canyon climbing area. Working with the Forest Service, the climbing community is interested in proactively addressing emerging issues at this increasingly popular area. Parking, human waste, grizzly bear food order regulations, and access trails have been identified as key areas of concern.
