John D. Grove was born in Ketchikan, Alaska, in 1930 to Christopher C. and Phyllis Hill Grove. He grew up exploring the outdoors. His first job was in the commercial fishing industry at the age of sixteen, working on a fish trap for Nakat Packing Company. Grove enrolled in the Oregon State College School of Forestry in Corvallis in 1948 and earned his bachelor's degree in Science and Forest Management in 1954. Following his graduation, the U.S. Army drafted Grove and stationed him at Ladd Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. Grove then worked as a forester for the U.S. Forest Service in Juneau starting in 1955. He married Darlene Lowry, a teacher, in 1957. Shortly thereafter he was promoted to District Ranger on the Chugach National Forest at Cordova, Alaska. In 1962, Grove was promoted to Assistant Timber Management Officer on the Bitterroot National Forest and moved with his wife and three children to Hamilton, Montana. Between 1962 and 1984 Grove worked on the Bitterroot, Helena, and Lolo National Forests, including as the timber and fire management officer for the Helena National Forest. He retired in 1984 and moved with his family to Stevensville, Montana, in the Bitterroot Valley.
Grove's career with the Forest Service informed his opinions of both wilderness conservation and the role that Forest Service policy played in preservation of forestlands and wildlife. As a professional forester he witnessed the tumultuous decades of the 1960s-1990s, when the Forest Service was beset by controversy over the management of forests and other public lands. As a district ranger he felt the extreme pressure to "get out the cut" and felt that harvesting practices were not sustainable. In retirement, Grove teamed up with four other conservation-minded citizens and formed the Bitterroot Timber Sale Review Committee. The group eventually evolved into the Friends of the Bitterroot (FOB), whose fundamental purpose was to systematically review proposed National Forest timber sales and other projects for compliance with federal laws and regulations. Grove and another member, Jerry Nichols, provided technical review of timber sale documents to determine if FOB should get involved in litigation.
This collection, the John D. Grove Papers, is primarily comprised of project files associated with the Friends of the Bitterroot (FOB), a conservation organization based in western Montana, and specifically with John Grove's efforts as a technical reviewer for the organization. Organized as the Bitterroot Timber Sale Review Committee, the group that became known as the Friends of the Bitterroot in 1988 utilized the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Forest Management Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act and other regulatory measures to review hundreds of Forest Service projects for compliance with environmental laws and regulations. While Friends of the Bitterroot is based in Montana's Bitterroot Valley, the organization reviewed and continues to review Forest Service and other public land development projects in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and more broadly the Northern Rocky Mountains.
This collection has been organized in to eight series. Five series are organized by national forest and then by district or project type. Other series include publications, wildlife projects, and FOB administrative documents. Individual project files in this collection contain correspondence, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, environmental assessments (EA), draft environmental impact statements (DEIS), and final environmental impact statements (FEIS). Also included are photographs, comments, scoping documents, and other related materials maintained by the Friends of the Bitterroot. Additional materials housed in the collection include various conservation-focused publications, photographs, and newspaper clippings, many annotated, detailing the activities of the organization. A large quantity of the materials contain hand-written notes and annotations from John Grove and other members of Friends of the Bitterroot.
This collection is divided in to eight series.

John D. Grove Papers, Archives and Special Collections, Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library, The University of Montana-Missoula.
The materials in this collection were held by John Grove prior to their transfer to the University of Montana.
The materials in this collection were donated to the University of Montana by John D. Grove in 2017.
This collection was housed by John Grove in large envelopes that were mostly identified by project type and project location. The collection was partially organized in 2017, with materials moved from envelopes to acid-free folders while maintaining Grove's project indentifications. Organization was completed by a second processer in 2019. Files were organized into series and subseries, largely based on forest or project. Within series and subseries folders were largely arranged in alphabetical order. The processors did minimial review of the contents of individual folders; a general overview of most folder contents are provided in the notes fields of each folder. Copies of maps that lacked any significant annotations and are available elsewhere were removed from the collection during processing.
The University of Montana's Archives and Special Collections holds an oral history interview with John Grove, largely focused on his work with the Friends of the Bitterroot (OH 462-001).
This collection is indexed under the following headings in the online catalog. Researchers desiring materials about related topics, persons, or places should search the catalog using these headings.
This series contains Friends of the Bitterroot project files that assess Forest Service projects conducted within the boundaries of the Bitterroot National Forest of Montana and Idaho. Projects reviewed include grazing allotments, ecosystem management analysis, timber sale reviews, and other forest development projects. The individual project files contain correspondence, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, environmental assessments (EA), draft environmental impact statements (DEIS), and final environmental impact statements (FEIS). Also included are photographs, scoping documents, and other related materials maintained by the Friends of the Bitterroot.
This series and its respective subseries have been arranged alphabetically.

Comment and Review
This series is comprised of FOB project files specifically associated with wildlife management projects. These projects are primarily concentrated in the Northern Rocky Mountains, but the series also includes more general wilderness conservation materials related to the national Endangered Species Act. Projects reviewed include grazing allotments, ecosystem management analysis, timber sale reviews, and other forest development projects. The individual project files contain correspondence, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, environmental assessments (EA), draft environmental impact statements (DEIS), and final environmental impact statements (FEIS). Also included are photographs, scoping documents, and other related materials maintained by the Friends of the Bitterroot. While some of the project files are associated with specific National Forests, these records have been organized into their own series to reflect the organization of the original records creator.
This series has been divided into five subseries and is arranged alphabetically.
