The Montana Fish & Wildlife Conservation Trust was established by the US Congress and funded by proceeds from the sale of federally leased cabin sites on Canyon Ferry Reservoir. The Trust has made available over $18 million for project funding during the past 24 years. The purpose of the Trust is to provide a permanent source of funding for the acquisition of publicly accessible land in the State of Montana in order to:
- Restore and conserve fisheries habitat, including riparian habitat;
- Restore and conserve wildlife habitat;
- Enhance public hunting, fishing and recreational opportunities;
- Improve public access to public lands.
Two independent oversight Boards, a Joint Federal-State Board and the Citizens Advisory Board, are responsible for ensuring the goals of the Trust are met. Board meetings are open to the public and public participation is encouraged.
Additional information on the Trust and previous meeting minutes is available by contacting MFWCT, PO Box 1993, Helena, MT 59624 or email [email protected].
