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.

Scotchman’s Winter Bird Highlights (Co-sponsored with Spokane Audubon) -

This is an all-day trip to the northeast corner of Bonner County and the proposed Scotchman Peaks Wilderness Area. The trip will focus on waterfowl on Lake Pend Oreille as well as upland winter birds and rarities in the Lightning Creek area. Be prepared to drive approximately 5 hours round-trip from Spokane and to walk on gravel roads approximately 2-3 miles. Bring WARM clothes, lunch, snacks, and water. Tentatively, we will meet in the Liberty Lake Albertson’s at 7:00AM and also at Sandpoint City Beach at 8:30AM. Contact the hike leader by February 18 if interested. This trip is dependent on weather and road conditions.
