Seeley Lake Ranger District gets third award for effort
This past summer the Canyon Creek fire on the Lolo National Forest came close to consuming an award winning bridge inside the Scapegoat wilderness.
In the summer of 1987, Forest Service employees on the Seeley Lake Ranger District constructed a new bridge over the North Fork of the Blackfoot River. Using materials native to the area and no motorized equipment, the bridge crew replaced three spans of the 90-foot bridge, bridge abutments and piers. Earlier this year, the Forest Service awarded the bridge crew the Northern Region’s 1987 Primitive Skills Award in recognition of the primitive and historic skills used to construct the bridge.
On Saturday, Dec. 3, the Seeley Lake Ranger District received their third award for reconstruction of the bridge. The American Wilderness Alliance selected the Seeley Lake District as the recipient of their 1987 Wilderness Primitive Skills Award. A plaque will be accepted by Orville Daniels, Supervisor of the Lolo National Forest, at the annual meeting of the Montana Wilderness Association in Kalispell.
