With nearly 65 percent of the state’s land held in private ownership, landowners are central to the work of managing and conserving Montana’s wildlife, fish and important habitats.

Landowners help strengthen Montana’s traditions through their legacy of land stewardship, by providing public hunting and fishing access to their lands, and by helping to preserve key recreationaland historical sites. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is committed to working with Montana’s landowners through a variety of programs that acknowledge and support their role in maintaining Montana’s rich conservation legacy.
