Conservation Easements Across the United States

Conservation easements are an effective tool for conservation of private lands in the United States.

(INTERNAL RIGHTS ONLY) Rocky Mountain Front in Montana of the United States. The Rocky Mountain Front is a?convergence of mountains and plains that stretches in a 50-mile swath over 200?linear miles of Alberta and Montana -- it is also one of the last grizzly bear strongholds in the United States. The Conservancy is securing habitats used most heavily by grizzly bears, and maintaining critical linkages between public and private lands that enable bears to continue their seasonal movements. In addition to landowners, our conservation partners in this project include the Blackfeet Tribe, Nature Conservancy Canada (not affiliated with TNC), the Southern Alberta Land Trust (establishment aided by The Nature Conservancy), and public agencies who purchase easements.
