Yaak Valley Forest Council is a nonprofit grassroots conservation organization. Their mission is to protect the roadless areas in the Yaak; to promote a sustainable local restoration economy; maintain and restore ecological integrity by improving wildlife habitat; promote collaboration for ecologically sound stewardship forestry practices. 

Roughly 60 miles south of Canada, the 88,000 acre Scotchman Peaks roadless area spans the Idaho-Montana border. Since the 1970s, when the U.S. Forest Service carried out extensive evaluations of lands suitable for wilderness, this rugged, scenic and biologically diverse portion of the Cabinet Mountains has been managed for its wilderness potential. The Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness believe now is the time to preserve the Scotchmans, one of the last, and largest, wild areas in our region.
