Craig Barrett, former chairman and current vice chairman of the National Forest Foundation Board of Directors, will host a Montana retreat for the winning bidder and a guest at the Triple Creek Ranch. This once-in-a-lifetime experience with a captain of business and philanthropy offers a memorable adventure for the winning bidder’s outdoor spirit and business mind. Nestled at the foot of the stunning Bitterroot Range, Triple Creek Ranch – a member of the exclusive Relais & Chateaux line of retreats – offers Montana outdoor scenery and recreation at its finest, with a touch of luxury.

During a three-day, two-night stay, the top bidder and a guest will enjoy a private cabin, along with all the wonderful activities and dining (all meals are included) the ranch has to offer. The bidder and Craig will take part in one of his favorite activities – a day of fly fishing on the Bitterroot River – and will also explore the Bitterroot National Forest on horseback. In addition, one evening during the stay, Triple Creek will create one of its gourmet dinners especially for the bidder and Craig.

The National Forest Foundation’s Earth Day auction blends a unique opportunity to support conservation, meet Craig Barrett, and enjoy one of the nation’s most spectacular settings. One hundred percent of the winning bid for this auction will benefit the National Forest Foundation and its mission to conserve and enhance the forests, watersheds, wildlife habitat and recreational resources of our National Forests and Grasslands.

“Craig is a wonderful individual who combines excellent stewardship of his own ranch with a passion for helping the National Forest Foundation and the Forest Service in their efforts to ensure the long-term health and vitality of our 193-million-acre National Forest System,â€
