WELCOME
Cabinet Resource Group is a northwest Montana grassroots environmental organization started in 1976. We are located in the Kootenai National Forest near the pristine Cabinet Wilderness Area. Our inception focused on preventing a dam at the Kootenai Falls followed by battling the first NEPA project in the nation, the now closed Troy mine. Since then we have successfully defended the Scotchman Peak Roadless area from additional mineral development by securing mine claims to be held until wilderness designation, defended the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness from the Rock Creek and Montanore mining projects, and sponsored new conservation organizations to advocate for these areas. We have also sponsored local youth camps, hikes, and educational events.
