Conservation easements are a core focus of FWP’s Habitat Montana program. These easements allow landowners to gain value for voluntarily keeping their property undeveloped for future generations. Each conservation easement is unique to the property and landowner and is engineered to retain the conservation value of the land. FWP manages 66 conservation easements across the state, protecting more than 440,000 acres. For more information, visit http://fwp.mt.gov/fishAndWildlife/habitat/wildlife/programs.
