Hamilton- The Ravalli County Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) approved 11 projects which will receive more than $214,000 in funding for 2012. All of the projects will benefit National Forest System lands and ecosystems in Ravalli County.

Resource Advisory Committees came about after the establishment of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000. To qualify, projects must improve federal lands such as trails, infrastructure maintenance, soil and forest ecosystem health, watershed restoration, maintenance and improvement of wildlife and fish habitat, control of noxious weeds, and re-establishment of native species. At least 50 percent of project funds are dedicated to restoring streams and watersheds; or road maintenance, decommissioning or removal. Projects may be on private land, but must show a direct benefit to National Forest System lands.
