…On Friday, the Swan View Coalition and the Friends of the Wild Swan sued the Flathead National Forest in Missoula federal district court for approving its West Reservoir Project using a Trump administration shortcut, while the Flathead Forest has yet to complete a court-ordered rewrite of its Forest Plan to better protect grizzly bears and bull trout. …The West Reservoir Project, initiated in 2023 and approved in March, extends 50 to 70 miles west from the entire western shore of Hungry Horse Reservoir, to include the Jewel Basin Hiking Area. …There, the Forest Service plans to conduct prescribed burns on more than 4,600 acres along streams mostly on the southern end of the area. …So the Forest Service acknowledged that the project is “likely to adversely affect” both species. …The new Plan allows the Forest Service to build more roads and do the bare minimum to close roads, which meant the amount of illegal use increased.
