Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The future of Pacific Northwest forests may lie in the stuff loggers now leave behind.

That’s the bet the Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance http://www.nararenewables.org/ has made in networking a roomful of professors, business leaders and government officials to turn wood waste into jet fuel. They’re working through a $40 million federal grant to envision all the mills, pipelines, refineries, outreach programs, permits and spinoffs the industry could create.

There’s just one hitch: Nobody has yet figured out how to economically make isobutanol fuel out of tree tops.
