Seeley-Swan Search and Rescue (SSSAR) supports many outdoor events and is responsible for search and rescue operations in the Potomac, Seeley Lake, and Condon areas of Missoula County. The grant funds will be used to purchase a Starlink Mini which will better equip volunteer rescuers during these missions since cellular service in and around Seeley Lake is very limited, and the current radio system is ineffective in remote areas.

This helped keep visitors in town longer, encouraging shopping at local businesses and enhancing the overall “Seeley Lake Experience.” The evening band, Code Red, was funded by the grant and brought in from Portland with local ties.

The writer in residence spent twelve weeks with each class, guiding students to read, write, and explore poetry as a form of self-expression. During a visit to a fifth-grade class, students thoughtfully discussed Heather Cahoon’s poem “The Hawk Who Wears the Owl’s Face” after engaging with it through reading, listening, and group discussion. The experience helped students understand new vocabulary and themes like mistaken identity, then encouraged them to write poems based on similar personal experiences. This program served more than 90 students, building their confidence, creativity, and writing skills through poetry!

Seeley Lake ROCKS aims to provide residents and visitors with safe, healthy outdoor recreation opportunities. Their primary summer focus is managing and maintaining the Placid Lake Trails system. The organization originally developed these trails from old logging roads, a project that has evolved over many years. Once opened to the public, ROCKS has continued an ongoing maintenance program to keep the trails scenic, accessible, and free of obstacles and noxious weeds. The 2025 SLCF Community Grant allowed the group to hire professional weed sprayers, while team members contributed many volunteer hours to weed whacking, cutting, clearing, and annual cleanup efforts.

SLCF’s Community Grant funds helped the continuation of Phase I of the Seeley Lake Nordic Ski Club’s long-prioritized beginner ski area (Area X) project at Seeley Creek Trails. Extra trail work and heavy equipment already on site allowed additional smoothing passes to remove dirt and rock, making the area usable for the 2025–2026 ski season. The new beginner terrain, perimeter loop, and connector trail have been groomed and used by early-season skiers and groups such as Grizzly Orienteering.
