(U.S. Senate) – U.S. Senator Jon Tester has re-introduced the Montana Headwaters Legacy Act, legislation that will protect 384 miles of Montana rivers.
The Montana Headwaters Legacy Act will protect some of Montana’s most iconic recreational rivers including the Gallatin, Madison, and Smith as well as headwater streams in the Custer-Gallatin National Forest to ensure they are permanently protected from short-sighted special interests. The legislation brings together conservationists, outfitters, and recreationalists alike, and is supported by the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, American Rivers, American Whitewater, the Montana Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, and the Gallatin River Task Force.
