Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' Heritage Program manages more than 400 documented cultural resources within Montana's 56 state parks and over 1,000 additional cultural resources on other FWP-managed lands, including fishing access sites, wildlife management areas, and easements. This includes seven National Historic Landmarks and 85 sites that are listed or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
The program’s two heritage specialists oversee conservation and interpretation of those sites, from archaeological resources to historic structures, through research, historic preservation planning, and public storytelling.
They are also responsible for FWP's compliance with the Montana Antiquities Act and for ensuring the thousands of artifacts and fossils found on FWP land are appropriately curated and stored.
