The Bitterroot Ecosystem Management Research
Project (BEMRP), begun in October 1993, addresses the social,
biophysical, and management challenges of applying ecosystem
management principles on landscapes in the Northern Rockies.
Land managers are entrusted to protect species and structural
diversity on these landscapes while providing commodities
and other benefits to the public.
BEMRP addresses these issues through a science-management
partnership. Participants include scientists from the USDA
Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station and The University
of Montana, together with managers from the Bitterroot National
Forest and Northern Region.
