Description
Through the Montana Grasslands and Wildlife Corridors (MT GWC) Project we aim to address threats to grasslands across Montana to anchor intact landscapes, improve wildlife habitat, maintain wildlife migration corridors, sequester carbon, keep grass-based agriculture profitable and sustainable, and ensure Montana’s grasslands are vibrant. Utilizing an impressive partnership framework, we will strive to impact 120,000 acres of grasslands by removing/modifying 200 miles of fence to facilitate wildlife movement, seeding 5,000 acres of grass, contracting management improvements on 10,000 acres, and establishing reliable livestock water on 100,000 acres of grasslands. Additionally, we expect to utilize land rental contracts to address barriers to grassland restorations, leverage partnerships, and keep restoration projects intact for a minimum of 10 years on 30,000 acres.
