Today, at Smoke Elser’s barn in Missoula, Rep. Zinke announced the introduction of the A River Runs Through It Act, transforming decades of local collaboration into legislation before Congress.

The proposal balances conservation, recreation, forest management and timber jobs across the Blackfoot Valley.

If passed, the legislation would secure Montana’s first new wilderness designation since the 2014 Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act.

This is a huge deal for the Blackfoot and for Montana.

When Montanans sit down together, work through their differences, and stay committed, we can find lasting solutions for our public lands. ...

In the midst of rolling back the Roadless Rule, the Forest Service is bringing travel management to the party.

The Travel Management Rule is basically the playbook that national forests use to decide where motor vehicles can and can’t go.

Repealing the Roadless Rule, eliminating the BLM Public Lands rule, revising the Travel Management Rule, slashing Forest Service staff and budgets, the list goes on.

Remember when the Forest Service tried to rollback the Roadless Rule without a single public meeting so we hit the highway and held the meetings ourselves?

Wildfire mitigation isn’t just about protecting your home—it’s about creating safer conditions for the firefighters who respond when a fire threatens your community.

Creating defensible space, clearing dead vegetation, and taking wildfire mitigation seriously can give firefighters a safer place to work and a better chance of stopping a fire before it becomes catastrophic. ...

There are about 25,000 orphaned, abandoned or idle oil wells on our public lands.

Who should be responsible for cleaning those up? The companies, not American taxpayers.
