“Mountains and rivers without end.”

At the heart of our mission area is the Proposed Great Burn Wilderness and the Proposed Mallard Larkins Wilderness, a vast and remote landscape filled with high mountain lakes, free-flowing streams, and three distinct ecosystems.

Wildlife

The area contains high-quality habitat for many wildlife species that need tracts of continuous wildlands to survive. It is also home to threatened and endangered species, as well as three native mountain goat herds.

Landscape

Our mission area lies at the hub of a complex of undeveloped wildlands in the northern Rocky Mountains, providing a key wildlife corridor between the Selkirks and the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem.

What makes it special?

Nick Littman has worked on our trails crew and our weeds crew, and he’s also led student trips. Here, he explains why he kept coming back to the Great Burn every summer.
