I just finished reading Fury and the Beast by Dave Scott where he writes about his 27 year career as a wildland firefighter. For the last few years of his service was a Manager in the Lincoln Ranger District, one of the districts in the Helena-Lewis Clark National Forest.

| Obtained on January 9, 2026 from The Helena-Lewis Clark National Forest I enjoyed learning about the forests and mountains in western Montana as I read Mr. Scott’s book. He had many pictures and maps in the book which gave me useful visual images about what I was reading. He also spent a lot of time describing the different kinds of prescribed burns in the forests of western Montana. I was very fortunate to find two videos that I am sharing with you below to give you a glimpse into the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest where the Lincoln District is one of the districts. The first video that I embed below features a tour of the eastern half of the Helena-Lewis Clark National Forest ( ) from More Than Just Parks. This video is labeled part 1, unfortunately I can not find part 2 perhaps it has not ready for dissemination yet or maybe I was unable to find it on YouTube. |

In the second and final video, you will learn about a draft 2025 plan for wildfire fuels reduction in the Helena-Lewis Clark National Forest. I do not know if these plans were actually implemented, I hope that these plans were implemented. I liked the video because they talk about risks in the Forest and how fuel management in the Forest can mitigate these risks. Unfortunately I cannot embed the video here, but please go to this link from KPAX-TV (July 2025) to learn about this draft plan
