Public land holdings expand in Montana’s Blackfoot drainage

PUBLIC LANDS -- There's more room for conservation and for roaming in a famous, wilderness-fed tributary to the Clark Fork River.

BLM buys 4,312 acres of land in Montana's Blackfoot Valley for $3.5M
The 1,280 acres along Chamberlin Creek and 3,032 acres of Morrison Mountain the Nature Conservancy sold to the Bureau of Land Management late last month were part of the 89,000 acres Plum Creek Timber Co. sold to the Nature Conservancy in 2000.

The Missoulian offers a map showing the parcels.
