Oct 26, 2020 12:00 AM
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (MFWP) is proposing to purchase and manage a conservation easement (CE) on 1,733 acres owned by Keith and Runsigma Glass north of Denton, MT.
This proposed CE, called the “Everson Bench Conservation Easement,” will protect and conserve in perpetuity ~1,733 deeded acres of mixed agricultural lands and sagebrush-grassland habitat adjoining the Coffee and Arrow Breaks in deer/elk hunting district (HD) 426. The proposed CE serves as a gateway to ~9,000 acres of inaccessible of DNRC and BLM Upper Missouri Breaks National Monument lands. This CE will keep the property in private ownership, ensure habitat values are protected in perpetuity, and guarantee free public access for hunting and other recreational pursuits on and across CE lands, satisfying MFWP’s objectives in providing access and recreational opportunities to the public.
