Advocating for Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act

| July 21, 2021 12:00 AM

In 2017, Montana's outdoor recreation economy generated $7.1 billion.

Two years later, Montana Senator Jon Tester introduced the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act, a piece of federal legislation to bolster Montana's economy by protecting 80,000 acres of land for conservation, recreation, and restoration.

98% of Montanans believe that outdoor recreation is important to Montana's economic future. With thousands of acres dedicated to snowmobiling, mountain biking, hiking, and fishing, the act is a tangible step toward further sustaining this valuable resource.

If passed by the U.S. Senate, the act would support a 15-year coalition of ranchers, loggers, conservationists, timber companies, citizens, businesses and outdoor enthusiasts.
