Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is seeking public input on a potential project that would place nearly 33,000 acres of private timberland in Northwest Montana under a conservation easement and protect working lands, public recreation access and wildlife habitat.

FWP has published a draft environmental assessment that outlines the proposed first phase of the project named the Montana Great Outdoors Conservation Easement. This is the first of a potential two-phase project totaling 85,792 acres of private timberland and fish and wildlife habitat owned by Green Diamond Resource Company.
