Bitterroot National Forest 



There is no specific mention of grizzly bear management in the Bitterroot National Forest Plan (1986). 

 Chapter 11-21, section f, states that no formal recovery plan has been established for threatened and 

 endangered species in the Bitterroot Forest. Specific population objectives will, however, be established 

 when sufficient biological information is available to do so. The Bitterroot Forest Plan Five Year Revieio 

 (1994) points out that although the Forest Plan provides general direction for the maintenance and 

 enhancement of habitat for sensitive species, conservation strategies for these species have not been 

 completed and incorporated. Coordination with the USFWS, Idaho Fish and Came, and Montana FWP 

 will continue.
