Welcome to Lubrecht Experimental Forest
The Lubrecht Experimental Forest is a 28,000 acre outdoor classroom and laboratory located 30 miles northeast of Missoula, Montana in the Blackfoot River drainage. The Montana Forest and Conservation 
Experiment Station of the University of Montana owns and operates 21,000 acres of the Forest. The remainder is under the jurisdiction of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation and is managed cooperatively with the Experiment Station. Dedicated to the advancement of natural resource knowledge through research and education, the Lubrecht Forest has been the site of numerous research and demonstration projects since 1950. In addition, both undergraduate and graduate students use the forest to further their education in forestry and the related fields of range, wildlife, fire management and watershed management.
Thirty miles northeast of Missoula and the University campus, we are close and accessible -- but Ohhhh! so far away from the melee. Miles of cross country hiking and ski trails await your apr'es meeting recreational yearnings.
