The Montana Land Board is acquiring 328 acres on the Lower Yellowstone River to improve public access and protect habitat, according to a Montana Free Press report.
The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Park plans to use the land to create the North Wildcat Coulee Wildlife Management Area.
“The process that got us to today’s vote is a blueprint for how the state should think about acquiring and managing public lands: with input and support from the community and for everyone’s benefit,” Noah Marion, Wild Montana’s political and state policy director, told Montana Free Press in an email.
