The People
Since its inception in 2005, the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Project has received overwhelming, broad support locally and state-wide. This is largely due to the broad benefits the Project will provide: thinning overly dense forest stands, restoring streams and stream banks, replacing culverts, improving wildlife habitat, creating a local market for wood waste, creating up to 50 jobs, increasing local small business income, and designating wilderness.
