Pheasants Forever is excited to announce plans for conservation efforts on 120,000 acres of working lands and wildlife habitat in Montana over the next five years. The project – Montana Grasslands and Wildlife Corridors – was recently funded at $25 million by the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).
“This funding is a tremendous step forward for the Montana Grasslands Initiative and will allow us to dramatically impact conservation in our state,” said Pheasants Forever’s Montana state coordinator, Hunter VanDonsel. “Grasslands are the most imperiled landscape on the planet, and it’s vital we do everything we can to protect what remains. We’re very honored to receive this opportunity from the NRCS.”
