The GNA partnership between Montana DNRC and the U.S. Forest Service allows our agencies to plan and implement forest management and restoration projects together - increasing our capacity to complete important project work in our communities.

The Jackknife Project, located one mile west of the community of Olney, MT on the Tally Lake Ranger District, is one of these GNA projects. The purpose of which is to reduce the risk of intense wildfires within the communities near Forest Service lands by reducing tree densities and accumulated combustible vegetation. This type of forest management also improves the diversity and resilience of the forest.

Take a moment to watch and learn about the work we can accomplish when our agencies work in partnership with each other and our community. A special thank you to Montana DNRC, Weyerhaeuser, and Stoken Logging for making this project possible!
