The Kalispell Chamber is hosting its annual Timber Tour throughout the valley to provide the community with the opportunity to learn more about the active forest management projects going on through the Flathead National Forest.
The event will take place Thursday, Oct. 23 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The event will give attendees a chance to visit Wild Montana Wood and the North and South Spencer Lake Timber Sale. The program is produced in association with the Associated Chambers of the Flathead and with the Montana Forest Products Industry Week celebration across the state.
The tour will cover topics such as wild land urban interface, fuels and risk, infrastructure, treatments and products, Forest Plan revisions, timber supply, and Gov. Steve Bullock’s Forest and Focus Initiative. Representatives from Plum Creek Timber Company, Stoltze, and the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation will lead discussion topics.
The tour will leave from the Kalispell Chamber’s Depot building and depart for Spencer Lake at 1 p.m. The tour will return to the Chamber at 5 p.m. To register, visit www.kalispellchamber.com under Events or call 406-758-2803. For more information or questions, email [email protected].
