Passionate About Preservation

 

OUR STORY

 

In recent years the Forest Service and a small group of dedicated volunteers started restoration work on several historic lookouts on the Flathead National Forest. These preservation efforts inspired us to form the Northwest Montana Lookout Association in 2013.
