Volunteers plant 33 ponderosa pines at Finley Point park
On Earth Day 2025, Encompass LLC sponsored a tree restoration project at the Finley Point Unit of Flathead Lake State Park in partnership with Montana State Parks, AmeriCorps and the Montana State Parks Foundation.
As part of a hands-on volunteer effort, four Flathead Lake State Park stewards planted 33 native ponderosa pine saplings throughout the park. The trees were planted to restore the forest canopy, improve wildlife habitat, stabilize soils, and provide future shade for park users.
Located on the southeast shore of Flathead Lake, Finley Point is a heavily visited site used for camping, boating and fishing. The site has recently undergone forest management activities, including the removal of some trees due to safety concerns and forest health issues.
