Plan Annual Monitoring Report provides an account of the management activities of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest (BDNF) for Fiscal Year 2005 (October 2004- September 2005). Monitoring and evaluation are tools the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest uses to assess whether we are accomplishing the goals and objectives set forth in the Forest Plans. The results provide Forest line officers and employees, Regional and Washington offices, Congress, and the public with information on the progress and results of implementing the Forest Plans. Over the 19 years since implementation of Forest Plans, evaluation of data has been leading us closer to initiating Forest Plan revision. In 2002, this Forest began the process of revising the two Plans and consolidating them into one Plan. An important step preparing for Revision was to review the findings from a dozen previous Forest Monitoring and Evaluation Reports along with other information to determine which parts of the plan are in greatest need of revision. We know much of our current Plans direction (goals, objectives, outputs and costs) and the related monitoring items will be changing soon with the revised Plan. This year’s monitoring effort recognizes that fact. “Evaluation” refers to the detailed discussion provided in the draft Analysis of the Management Situation (2002). Monitoring information for the BDNF is presented in two separate reports because we still follow two separate Forest Plans until Plan Revision is complete. At that point, late in 2007, we will have a single Forest Plan for the BDNF. Until then, monitoring requirements are unique (though sometimes overlapping) for the Beaverhead and Deerlodge portions of the Forest. For some monitoring items, data is collected for the entire Forest and cannot be broken out by unit. This is noted as Forestwide data, where that is the case. The Beaverhead Report is presented first, then the Deerlodge. A separate Table of Contents and Summary of the monitoring items by Forest is presented at the beginning of each Forest Report. 2005 Monitoring & Evaluation Report Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest List of Preparers Resource Name and Position Appeals and NEPA Cindy Tencick, Appeals and Litigation Coordinator Economics, Emerging Issues Janet Bean-Dochnahl, Planner, Social Science Facilities, Transportation Craig Simonsen, Transportation Planner Fire Tammy Clark, Fire Management Officer Fisheries Jim Brammer, Fisheries Biologist Heritage Resources Mike Ryan, Archaeologist Insect and Disease, Research Robert Wooley, Forest Ecologist Minerals Dan Avery, Geologist Noxious Weeds Robert Wooley, Forest Ecologist Old Growth Art Rohrbacher, Wildlife Biologist Range Grant Godbolt, Range Management Specialist, Juanita Miller, Resource Assistant Recreation Patty Bates, Recreation/Lands/Eng Staff Officer Research Robert Wooley, Forest Ecologist Riparian and Watersheds Bryce Bohn, Dave Salo; Hydrologists Roadless Janet Bean-Dochnahl, Planner, Social Science Soils Dan Svoboda, Dave Ruppert, Karen Gallogly; Soil Scientists Timber Rick Henningsen, Timber Management Officer, Cathy Frey, Timber Resource Specialist Wildlife Art Rohrbacher, Wildlife Biologist Wilderness Jonathan Klein, Recreation Tech; John Ericson, Recreation Forester COORDINATORS: Peri Suenram, Planning Staff Officer, Janet Bean-Dochnahl, Planner WRITER/EDITOR: Sharon Sawyer, Program Analyst APPROVAL:

DESCRIPTORS *American Indians; Educational Facilities; Field Trips; *Government Role; Historic Sites; Indigenous Populations; *National Parks; *United States History; *War IDENTIFIERS Nez Perce (Tribe); Site Visits ABSTRACT Few places in the west are as evocative of the tragic story of the Indian Wars as Big Hole (Montana) National Battlefield. The site memorializes the bravery of the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers and volunteers who fought there during the epic flight of the Nez Perce in 1877. Big Hole preserves the scene of one of the most famous battles of the Indian Wars. This administrative history is divided into chronological chapters, with each chapter divided into topical sections and subsections. A chronological organization highlights two salient themes in Big Hole National Battlefield's administrative development:(1) its long evolution as a small unit assigned to a succession of federal agencies (the War Department, the Forest Service, and the National Park Service); and (2) the close connection that exists between its land base, interpretive (education) program, and resource management.

  • National Historic Trail Progress Report Winter 2016
    Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report Winter 2016 Administrator’s Corner Dear NPNHT Supporters, I would like to begin with a heartfelt thank you for making 2015 a year of major progress for the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail (NPNHT). With your help we enhanced our outreach and education efforts, and made advancements for heritage, stewardship, conservation preservation, and continued to share the NPNHT with a wide audience. Your support and dedication to the NPNHT is making a positive impact to preserve and protect this important National Historic Trail to make it more accessible for everyone whether they visit the Trail on the ground, visit special sites associated with the Trail, or virtually. In 2015, together we empowered many volunteers and Challenge Cost Share partners. Some of those resulted in the reopening of more than 3 miles of trail on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest and the 2016 “Exploring the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail” marketing program for the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain Regions which will build upon the awareness generated from the 2015 program. We added NPNHT historic sites and visitor centers Photo Service Forest U.S. on new Auto Tour brochures for Montana, Idaho, and Oregon and including the NPNHT on Sandra Broncheau- reprinted brochures for Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. To see more on our great McFarland with Smokey partners see details in side of this report. Bear. We enabled thousands of people to virtually access the trail through the NPNHT website, our photo gallery, Flickr and YouTube, and virtual Trail experiences.

  • Montana and Idaho Day & Overnight Hikes Guide
    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: IDAHO & MONTANA Photo by Steven Shattuck CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT IDAHO & MONTANA! Day & Overnight Hikes on the CDT THE GEM STATE AND THE TREASURE STATE Montana, known as “The Treasure State” and “Big Sky Country,” and Idaho, “The Gem State,” offer many wonderful Continental Divide Trail (CDT) experiences! The trail meanders along the southern border of Montana and eastern border of Idaho and extends for 1,012 miles through the two states, running through the present-day and ancestral lands of numerous Native American tribes including the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Ktunaxa, Eastern Shoshone, Lemhi Shoshone, Shoshone-Bannock, Salish Kootenai, and Tsuu T’ina tribes. In these states you’ll find mountain goats, grizzly bears, wolves, and bald eagles, as well as douglas fir, lodgepole pine, aspen, lady-slipper, buttercups, beargrass, and glacier lilies. We’ve put together this list of the best day and overnight hikes on the CDT in Montana and Idaho for you to explore some of our favorite parts of the trail! Hikes in this guide are listed from south to north. WILDLIFE: Idaho and Montana have both black bears and grizzly bears, each with distinct characteristics and behaviors. We recommend learning more about best practices while hiking in bear country. If you plan on hiking, make sure you are prepared with bear spray. MOUNTAIN WEATHER: Snow can stay in the high mountains long into the summer. Remember that you likely won’t be able to get to the higher trails during the winter and spring. Additionally, mountain weather can change drastically and unpredictably.
