Bear Creek Decision Notice
Dec 7, 2022 3:27 PM
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks {FWP) proposes to restate the existing Bear Creek Angus Conservation Easement in the Madison Valley to reduce by one developed acre the Conservation Easement {CE) footprint in exchange for the following net benefits:
a) Reduce acreage of current building envelopes from 40 acres to 16.5 acres providing protections to 23.5 acres of wildlife habitat. This includes reducing the footprint of three existing build sites and removing one building envelope completely.
b) Removing agricultural subdivision language from the CE, which would require the CE to be sold as one full property into the future.
c) Updating CE legal language including updated exhibits related to cultivation and native vegetation to meet current FWP standards.
