After receiving a lot of push back from locals and even the Montana Legislature, the American Prairie Reserve has reduced its proposed expansion of bison grazing on BLM lands in the northeastern corner of the state.

Russell National Wildlife Refuge, by buying adjoining private lands to preserve the prairie ecosystem and the wildlife it holds.
