F -- Hand Tree Thinning on the Flathead NF

The Flathead National Forest will be advertising a Request for Proposal consisting of approximately nine bid items totalling an estimated 1,400 acres (pending availability of funds)of hand tree thinning on the Tally Lake and Swan Lake Ranger Districts, Flathead and Lake Counties, Montana. This is not a notice of the availability of a solicitation, but rather a notification to visit the project areas prior to the winter season since these areas will be inaccessible during the advertising period. No formal site tour is planned. Preliminary maps with general locations of the project areas are available from the Flathead National Forest.
