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.

September is National Wilderness Month

On September 3rd, 2009 the President of the United States, Barak Obama, signed a proclamation declaring that September be designated National Wilderness Month. 

What better way to celebrate than by becoming a Friend of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness?   Help us continue our effort to protect the Scotchman Peaks area so it can remain accessible to all who want to enjoy this rugged and scenic public land.   Join us for one of our Guided Hikes and experience for yourself the beauty and wildlife of the Scotchman Peaks wilderness!
