The AATM Map is continuously being updated. Contact us if there are any changes or updates you would like to see!

Background

AATM started in 2015, with it's first kiosk being installed at the Rattlesnake National Recreation site in Lolo National Forest.

Now, there are over 50 adopted trailheads and 74 AATM trailhead sites!

Photo: Glacier View 4H at Stanton Lake

At each kiosk you can find information on the noxious weeds of concern, as well as recognition of the adoptee group.

Thank you to all of the AATM adoptee groups!
