 Swan Ecosystem Center (SEC) and the Swan Lake Ranger District, Flathead National Forest work together on several programs each year, sharing the costs of mutually agreed upon projects.
SEC has an office and Visitor Center in the U.S. Forest Service Condon Work Center, providing information to the public about trails, campsites and wildlife. SEC provides funds and volunteers to keep backcountry rangers at work in the Mission Mountains Wilderness and the Swan Range. Water quality monitoring and restoration in the Swan Valley is funded in part by grants that SEC receives. To involve a broad segment of the community in forest stewardship, SEC organizes field trips during the early stages of national forest timbersale development. SEC and the
U.S. Forest Service cooperatively oversee a 120-acre stewardship site near the U.S. Forest Service Condon Work Center. Short trails provide access to two demonstration
forests on this site.
