Land Transfers And Acquisitions

Print

Periodically, Montana State Parks initiates a land acquisition or exchange to acquire lands within or adjacent to a park to enhance or preserve the natural character, geological integrity, historical, or recreational value of the park. A significant land exchange to acquire the "jump face" of the buffalo jump at Ulm Pishkun State Park and the area at the base of the jump is underway now. The trade between FWP and the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) includes a section of grazing land at Makoshika State Park. It will be a part of the trade for land of high cultural and archeological significance owned by DNRC adjacent to Ulm Pishkun State Park. The trade consists of approximately 1,272 acres.
