Travelers for Open Land Helps Fund Flathead Valley Conservation

Travelers for Open Land awarded $18,000 in 2015 to help fund Montana private land conservation efforts. One of those projects is two conservation easements totaling 671 acres on the well-known Darrow family properties near Bigfork. The projects feature conservation of the Swims Creek riparian area, wildlife winter range, forested habitat, private working agricultural lands, open land conservation, and scenic views, including prominent ridgelines and hilltops.
