- Helped remove or improve almost three miles of fence, build a parking area, move the boundary gate and sign, and treat 60 acres of cheatgrass at the Mt. Haggin Wildlife Management Area.
- Advocated for multiple land acquisitions and conservation easements, including a riverfront parcel along the Lower Yellowstone, some great elk habitat in both the Big Hole Valley and near Lewistown, important riparian areas near Deer Lodge, and some valuable timberland in NW Montana.
- Brushed, cleared, fixed water bars, and improved tread on nearly 20 miles of trail in the Flathead and Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forests through 3 projects: Trail Fork Bear Creek, Carpp Lake, and Sylvia Lake.
- Removed 3 miles of fence to improve wildlife movement in migration corridors in SW Montana, Eastern Montana, and Missoula.
- We supported efforts to better understand barriers and fund solutions for wildlife crossings.
