Shout-out to the awesome volunteers who removed a mile of old barbed-wire fence on Nature Conservancy in the Blackfoot Valley last week! Our friends at Backcountry Hunters & Anglers hosted the fence pull, which involved hard climbing over steep terrain. Conservation and hunting groups recognize the importance of removing obsolete barbed-wire fence that can entangle and kill wildlife or impede crucial migration routes for elk, deer and other species. Thanks to everyone who came out (and the local businesses who fueled up the volunteers) for making this important habitat safer for wildlife!

Simple rock and brush structures, built along streams, can create wet meadows where wildlife and native plants can thrive. These low-cost structures can absolutely transform the land. On The Nature Conservancy’s website read about our work as part of the Southwest Montana Sagebrush Partnership, a network of partners that includes federal and state land managers, nonprofits, local businesses, and landowners who are dedicated to the responsible stewardship of southwestern Montana's sagebrush sea. Don’t miss the video of these structures in action! https://lnkd.in/exrbqzCi

Love the wildlife of Montana's sagebrush country? Many animals depend on the wet meadows that line streams for food and shelter as they raise their young. The Southwest Montana Sagebrush partnership is restoring wet meadows by building simple rock and brush structures to spread out the water flow in degraded streams. Check out this short video to see the transformation this simple process can achieve. https://nature.ly/3VD7Bb3 📸 Pronghorn; Scott Copeland

Want to hear straight from a rancher how valuable beavers are to the health of grazing lands? Check out this short video from our friends at Ranchers Stewardship Alliance. (You may recognize our own Kelsey Molloy in the video, too!) We’re a proud partner in the effort to bring funding and training to Montana ranchers looking to build stream structures that mimic the work of beavers to keep water on the land for both nature and livestock. These "beaver dam analogs," along with real beaver dams, help slow water, reduce flooding, maintain healthy wetland complexes and create wildlife habitat.
