Outside the Target Area
Project Description
The land on either side of the West Gallatin River, one mile southwest of Manhattan, Montana, is any outdoor enthusiasts dream. With approximately 587 acres of grasslands and sensational views of the Bridger Mountain Range, the Oyler property is one of the best riparian wildlife habitats in the Gallatin Valley. Whether you’re looking for white tail deer or one of the nearly 20 different species of neotropical migrant birds, this property is exceptional.
Purpose
Conserve key fisheries and riparian habitat, and ensure public access for public hunting, fishing and recreation.
Funding from the Montana Fish & Wildlife Conservation Trust and other partners, helped purchase a conservation easement that protects local fisheries and allows the public unique access to over 250 acres of land along the Gallatin River through private lands that wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of the Oyler family.
Directions
Between Three Forks, Montana and Bozeman, southwest of Manhattan, Montana off of W Dry Creek Road.
