The Montana Land Board approved last week the first phase of a large conservation easement in Northwest Montana in a 3-2 vote.
Known as the Montana Great Outdoors Conservation Easement, it will protect nearly 33,000 acres of working timberlands from development.
“I would like to be on record supporting this easement,” said Gov. Greg Gianforte, who chairs the board, at the meeting.
