We are excited to announce that the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness has been awarded a $4,000 “Challenge Grant” by the Cinnabar Foundation!!

Spanning the Idaho/Montana border, the Scotchmans are one of the last, and largest, wild areas in our region. We conduct education, outreach and stewardship activities to preserve the rugged, scenic and biologically diverse 88,000 acre Scotchman Peaks Roadless Area. We believe the Scotchman Peaks deserve congressional designation as Wilderness for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations.
