The Public Lands Rule requires the BLM to recognize conservation “as an essential component of public lands management.” Basically, it requires the BLM to value conservation, clean water, public access, and wildlife as much as mining and oil and gas extraction.The rule was finalized barely a year ago. 92% of public comments supported it. Now it’s on the chopping block.Submit a public comment today at the link in our bio.#keepitpublic #keepitwild #publicland

Here we go. At midnight last night, the federal government shut down because Congress failed to agree on a budget bill.What does that mean for public lands? The short answer is that we’re not 100% sure, but we know it’s not good.For now, national parks, forests, and BLM lands will remain open with a skeleton staff. We saw this during the 2018/2019 shutdown and it led to vandalism, theft, illegal use, overflowing restrooms, and unsafe conditions.Only this time, the shutdown is happening amidst a coordinated effort to dismantle our public lands. It’s up to our elected officials to stand up against that threat and deliver on their promise to protect our freedom to hike, hunt, camp, and fish.Read more about what the shutdown means for public lands at the link in our bio.

Ever thought about stepping into leadership? Maybe it’s serving on a local board, running for office, or even just standing up for the issues you care about.Montana needs local leaders that understand the issues that matter most to us. That’s why Wild Montana is offering two Leadership Development Trainings this fall. This is the first step in stepping up. Learn more at the link in our bio! 🔗

A message from our Executive Director, John Todd: First and foremost, THANK YOU for submitting comments on the Roadless Rule. Our collective voice is strong and clear: we want our wild places protected. So what now? We’re going on offense. Enter the Roadless Area Conservation Act. This is a new act that would make the Roadless Rule a law. We’ll have more information soon so be sure to follow us. We’ll keep you up to speed on this new act and let you know exactly how to take action. #keepitpublic #keepitwild #montana #publicland

Another day, another rollback.Fresh off starting to roll back the Roadless Rule, the administration’s coming after the Bureau of Land Management’s Public Lands Rule.The rule requires the BLM to recognize conservation “as an essential component of public lands management.” Basically, it requires the BLM to value conservation, clean water, public access, and wildlife as much as mining and oil and gas extraction.The rule was finalized barely a year ago. 92% of public comments supported it.

⚠️ UPDATE: Deadline extended to August 31!Today is our LAST CHANCE to comment on the USDA’s reorganization proposal that could shut down Montana’s public land offices.These jobs, research, and decision-making roles could be relocated to places like Salt Lake City and Fort Collins—far from the lands they affect.Montana would lose local control, local knowledge, and the ability to respond quickly to wildfire and climate threats.Montana has more national forest land than almost any other state. The people who manage these forests should live and work in the communities that depend on them—not hundreds of miles away.Follow the link in our bio to send a digital comment. 🔗
