Montanans are stewards of our nation’s most treasured landscapes. But, the millionaires we keep sending to Congress want to wall off access to our natural heritage. We need to walk in the footsteps of conservationists that came before us, save wild places for all and preserve a system of public lands administration that ensures functioning ecosystems, clean rivers and streams, and the inherent worth of wilderness and working lands alike. Wild places should be managed with the interests of hunters, hikers, and fishermen in mind. We must: 

• Permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund, set to run out in 2020. 

• Expand innovative community partnerships like the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act

• Reinvigorate the Antiquities Act. Never again should an administration be able to single-handedly destroy National Monuments like Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante or Bears Ears.

• Safeguard public access to our public lands

• Protect the Endangered Species Act 

• Pass the Recovering America's Wildlife Act
