Since 2000 the Bitter Root RC&D has done tremendous work in Ravalli, Mineral and Missoula Counties, MT in the wildland urban interface to reduce the risk of wildland fires, protect property and the lives of fire fighters.
Their fiscal sponsorship has incubated many successful nonprofit organization like the Clark Fork Coalition, Bitterroot Water Forum and the Bitterroot Land Trust.
I am excited about the work of the Bitterroot Collective Impact facilitating efforts to end homelessness and alleviate housing insecurity in Ravalli County.
