A Win for Montana’s Outdoors, But the Work’s Not Done!2 min read

Thanks to your voices and advocacy, Senate Bill 307 has been tabled , a huge win for Montana’s State Parks, trails, and wildlife programs!

In 2021, Montanans chose to dedicate a portion of recreational marijuana tax revenue to support our public lands. That funding helps maintain parks, improve trails, expand accessibility, and support wildlife.

SB 307 would have eliminated that funding, cutting an estimated $12 million from parks and trails and over $20 million from Habitat Montana. But you spoke up, and legislators listened.

Now, we need to keep that momentum going.
The job isn’t finished.

📣 Ask your legislators to support HB 932 and SB 537 — two strong bills that protect this critical funding and ensure Montana’s great outdoors stay open, accessible, and cared for.

Let’s keep showing up for the places we love.
