Funding for the purchase of the Bad Rock Canyon property is now secure, thanks to the generosity of our community and a Montana Fish and Wildlife Conservation Trust grant. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is hoping to close the purchase in December.

Thank you for your strong support throughout this conservation effort.
