Selway Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation 

The Selway-Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation (SBFC) was originally formed as the Selway-Bitterroot Foundation in 2005.  In 2011, we expanded the geographic area that we work in to include the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness.  We are a non-profit that serves as the primary partner of the Forest Service in stewarding the 1.3-million acre Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, the 2.3-million acre Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, and the surrounding wildlands. Why? Like many wilderness areas, the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness are victims of declining federal dollars. Smaller budgets often mean less work accomplished on the ground, fewer wilderness rangers and trail crews, and reduced stewardship of wilderness and trails in these areas

PUG - Pulaski Users Group

Volunteers are led by paid, former-agency staff and/or long-term volunteers. All leaders are extensively experienced in backcountry work and travel, and emphasize the transfer of these skills to volunteers in order to build additional volunteer and leadership capacity. Most of our trips are multi-day hitches, where groups hike deep into the backcountry and complete quality work. Volunteers have the opportunity to be trained and gain skills such as: USFS Sawyer Certifications, use of traditional tools, Leave No Trace principles, the history of the American conservation movement, and networking opportunities as advocates for our public lands.

Wilderness Society Idaho 

The Wilderness Society is the leading American conservation organization working to protect our nation’s public lands, the 635 million acres collectively owned by the American people and managed by our government. From well-known icons to hidden gems, these lands provide us all with clean air and water; abundant wildlife; havens for recreation, learning, and solitude; and a foundation for a healthy planet.  They are also important sources of renewable energy and vital natural resources that must be managed wisely.

American Trails is a national, nonprofit organization working on behalf of all trail interests, including hiking, bicycling, mountain biking, horseback riding, water trails, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, trail motorcycling, ATVs, snowmobiling and four-wheeling. American Trails members want to create and protect America's network of interconnected trails.

We support local, regional, and long-distance trails and greenways, whether they be in backcountry, rural or urban areas. Our goal is to support America's trails by finding common ground and promoting cooperation among all trail interests. Since our formation in 1988 we've been involved in everything from training trails advocates to increasing accessible trail opportunities for persons with disabilities
