Join Wild Montana and Missouri River Open Lands Preservation for a tour of an 80-acre state land parcel proposed for a public park easement. We’ll follow foot trails along the perimeter and crisscross the parcel, stopping at a potential cultural site and tracing the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail. Participants will learn about the easement proposal, how the area ties into the history of the Corps of Discovery, and can join an on-site BBQ and easement fundraiser after the Walk.
Registration opens May 23

About Wild MontanaSince 1958, we’ve been uniting and mobilizing people across Montana, creating and growing a conservation movement around a shared love of wild public lands and waters. We work at the local level, building trust, fostering collaboration, and forging agreements for protecting the wild, enhancing public land access, and helping communities thrive. Our work has resulted in 16 wilderness areas, the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, and other legislative, administrative, and executive victories that have protected millions of acres of public lands from irresponsible development and degradation. In recent years, our work has expanded into the State Capitol, where we drive pro-conservation policies that help communities benefit from public lands. It’s expanded to the federal level, where we’re helping make conservation and the health of rural communities priorities for public land management agencies. And we are doing our part to make public land more accessible and welcoming for all people. Learn more at wildmontana.org |
