Project Name: Deer Creek Crossing Conservation Project
Sponsor: Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in partnership with Five Valleys Land Trust & US Fish and Wildlife Service
Year: 2012
Grant Amount: $125,000
Total Project Cost: approximately $1,290,000
Project: The Deer Creek Crossing purchase has been one of FWP's highest fisheries conservation priorities because it will prevent development and degradation of this critical stream reach, will allow restoration efforts on and off the parcel to succeed, and will further leverage fisheries conservation investments elsewhere in the Deer Creek watershed.
Purpose: The Deer Creek Crossing Conservation project has been added to the Marshall Creek Wildlife Management Area (MCWMA).
This project consolidates public ownership in a key area for fish and wildlife conservation and secures additional public access to the MCWMA.
Directions: This 645 acre section (24) is located 6 miles northwest of Seeley Lake and is adjacent to the southern bourndary of the FWP MCWMA.
