Free wildfire and land services in Beaverhead County, Montana
15 programs in 8 categories, plus 2 local offices in Beaverhead County. Every listing names its source; ring ahead before you rely on one. Every local listing here was checked on or after 31 August 2026.
Dillon holds the MSU Extension office for Beaverhead County, on East Center Street. It publishes a switchboard and no office mailbox, so a question here begins with a telephone call. Weatherization and heating help are not administered in the county: Action, Inc. takes those applications from Butte for six south western counties, this one included. Beyond those two there is nothing local recorded for Beaverhead yet, no fire district, no conservation district, no county office. For forested ground the state forestry department is the route, and its free home wildfire risk assessment is open to any Montana homeowner who asks for one.

Why Sierra Log & Timber cares about your vacant land
Sierra Log & Timber mills cedar log and timber home packages in Chico, California. A good part of our working week is spent with people who have just bought land, and the same thing happens every time: the grants, the chipping days, the defensible space visits and the permit desks are all real, and all scattered across a dozen county websites that do not link to one another. So we put them in one place and left it open. You do not have to be building a log home to use this, and reading it signs you up for nothing.
The offices behind these listings are in Butte and Dillon. 2 organisations and 1 programme are recorded locally here. The local work runs to home hardening. When somebody asks us to price a package for a parcel in Beaverhead County, these are the desks we point them at first. Access, clearing and defensible space all come before anything we mill, and they are cheaper before there is a building in the way.

Common questions
Does Sierra Log & Timber run any of these programmes?
No. Every organisation and programme on this page is run by somebody else: a county office, a state agency, a nonprofit, a utility or a tribe. We collect them, check them and publish them, and that is the whole of our part in it. What we do ourselves is mill cedar log and timber home packages in Chico, California.
Is this free to use, and does using it sign me up for anything?
The directory is free and reading it signs you up for nothing. The two panels below are the only places on this page that ask for an address, both are optional, and they do different jobs: one tells you when this county's listings change, the other tells us that something here is already wrong.
How current are the Beaverhead County listings?
Every organisation here was checked against its own website or an official directory before it was published, and nothing goes on the page without a working way to reach it. That does not stop numbers changing, offices moving or a programme running out of money. When one of those happens, the second panel below is how it gets fixed.
