Pintler Face Project Aims at Forest Benefits and Controversy
Anaconda Sportsmen Club describes the Pintler Face landscape project as the region’s largest Forest Service vegetation treatment in 20 years. It covers Thompson Creek to Mount Haggin, including four timber sales and road upgrades to reduce wildfire risk, improve water quality, and restore trout habitat while preserving elk security and public access. The plan faced lawsuits by AFWR and NEC over wildlife impacts, but club leaders reaffirm support and call for continued research on lynx, wolverine, and grizzly effects.
