FWP Seeks Landowners for Public Access Land Agreements Program

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (NMB) – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is seeking landowners for their Public Access Land Agreements Program.

The program seeks to open or improve free public access to isolated parcels of state or federal land for hunting or fishing.

In exchange for providing public access, applicants may receive a payment and other negotiated improvements to facilitate public access to public lands.

To be eligible, landowners must be willing to provide public access to either inaccessible public lands or to improve access to under-accessible public lands, or both.

Landowners who wish to enter agreements must also hold the lease for grazing/farming on the public land.
