The Yaak Valley Forest Council’s THRIVE program fosters and coordinates partnerships that bring together land managers and wildlife biologists from the US Forest Service, US Fish Wildlife Service, and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks to further wildlife habitat research and adaptive management. Currently, THRIVE is developing active solutions for the maintenance and restoration of habitat conditions favored by grizzly bears and Canada lynx. For over 15 years the Yaak Valley Forest Council has been working to create a restoration workforce and advocating for restorative forestry practices. The THRIVE huckleberry monitoring partnership is an extension of our work to create high- quality habitat and resilient forests in northwest Montana.
