Mission: The Mission of the Montana Land Reliance is to provide permanent protection for private lands that are ecologically significant for agricultural production, fish and wildlife habitat and open space. The immediate accomplishments of MLR''s conservation work are measured in miles of streambank and acres of land and habitat protected. The lasting benefits of our work are the perpetuation of a lifestyle and an economy that rely on responsibly managed private land, and the increasingly valuable Montana spaces that will continue to nourish the spirit of future generations.
Programs: MLR utilizes conservation easements to provide permanent protection to private lands. We assist conservation buyers in the purchase and protection of Montana lands. We also provide educational outreach to landowners, professionals and the public about private land conservation.
