Tax Free Donations Help Wildlife

Print

Last year about 2,000 Montanans made tax-deductible contributions totaling more than $25,000 to help support wildlife viewing opportunities in the state.

Montana’s diverse wildlife species are highly "watchable," on the land, in the air and the water. In addition to cavity-nesting birds, other highly watchable species include: hawks, owls, loons, frogs, chipmunks, and birds such as chickadees, nuthatches, and finches, and many others.               

This tax season, to join those already supporting Montana’s wildlife, just check the box next to the eagle on the 2006 Montana income tax form.
