Crow Tribe of Montana

The purpose of this project is to process and distribute logs into firewood for Crow families, while providing winter employment to tribal members previously engaged in wildfire firefighting. This effort strengthens community, and creates local workforce opportunities tied to land stewardship.

The ultimate purpose for the use of this grant would be to survey and assess areas in and around community and rural homes, recreational sites that are populated and utilized by public and cultural sites that have limited access but still used by tribal members.

The Survey will allow the Crow Tribe to provide data to initiate and establish a management plan for the Big Horn Sheep. It will give us the opportunity to effectively implement management programs and to create ventures in the future.
