McKEOWN, Circuit Judge.
Native Ecosystems Council (“Native Ecosystems”) appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the United States Forest Service (“Forest Service”) in connection with the Forest Service’s approval of the Jimtown Vegetation Project (“Jimtown Project”) in the Helena National Forest. To lower the potential for a catastrophic fire, the Jimtown Project involves thinning,- prescribed burning, and weed management on approximately 1,500 acres in an area of the Helena National Forest prone to high intensity fires.
