Montana Wetlands Legacy

Wetlands are among Montana’s greatest treasures. Montana’s wetlands, riparian areas, and associated uplands are essential to maintaining water quality and our supply of clean water, and contribute in many ways to Montana’s quality of life. Our vision is that Montana’s wetlands are healthy, protected, and fully functioning.

The goal of the Montana Wetlands Legacy is to ensure protection of Montana’s wetlands, riparian areas, and associated uplands by understanding and appreciating these special places and how they add value to our lives. As a first step, we commit to protect an additional 250,000 acres of ecologically important wetlands, riparian areas, and associated uplands by the year 2005. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Foundation partners with the Legacy in this effort and handles some of its funding.

Our mission is to create a Wetlands Legacy for Montana by protecting, restoring, and enhancing Montana’s wetlands, riparian areas, and associated uplands through a fully integrated, voluntary partnership.
