About Us
Cabinet Resource Group is a northwest Montana grassroots environmental organization started in 1976. We are located in the Kootenai National Forest near the pristine Cabinet Wilderness Area with very little development. Our primary focus has been preventing a dam at Kootenai Falls followed by battling the now closed Troy mine and proposed Rock Creek mine in Noxon. We have also sponsored local youth camps, hikes, and educational events. Read more about our complete history here.
