The Lubrecht State Experimental Forest is a 20,306-acre (8,218 ha) tract of protected land located in Missoula and Granite County, Montana, owned and managed by the W.A.

Franke College to teach subjects such as forest ecology, controlled burns, and studies of surface[2] and groundwater measurement.

[4] The Lubrecht Experimental Forest features four major types of trees, the Western larch, Douglas fir, Lodgepole and Ponderosa.

Although the flora is the main focus of the Forest, there are still over 60 different species of wildlife in the area, including black bears, eagles, elk, and bobcats.

[5] From 1864 to 1937, the Lubrecht Forest was owned by the Northern Pacific Railroad, with some small tracts being sold off to the Anaconda Copper for the purpose of providing timber to be used in their mines.
