#WhitefishMT - #ConservationEasement enhances #WildlifeCorridor near Whitefish
Jan. 13, 2026 — "A newly created conservation easement along the #StillwaterRiver west of Whitefish is expected to help secure a critical wildlife corridor.
"Doug and Carolyn Kohrs worked with #FlatheadLandTrust to establish the 110-acre conservation easement earlier this month. The acreage, which augments a 655-acre conservation easement that the couple established in 2022, connects with the 1,560-acre #KuhnsWildlifeManagementArea and vast swaths of state and federally managed forestlands.
" 'Carolyn and I are excited to add this additional piece of wildlife-critical land to our existing easement,' said Doug Kohrs of the easement. 'Secure and safe wildlife corridors are important for all the different animal species who live in the valley, especially as the inevitable development creeps closer to their natural habitat.'
"The Kohrs have personally documented 95 bird species on the property, along with vital #wildlife species like #GrizzlyBears, #BlackBears, #MountainLions, #wolves, #bobcats, #elk and #deer. The easement also includes a stretch of the Stillwater River that provides habitat for #BullTrout and #WestslopeCutthroatTrout.
"The land was slated for an eight-home #subdivision before the Kohrs acquired it in 2005.
"The terms of the conservation easement prohibit division of the property and regulate construction to specific areas. The land can still be used for #agriculture.
"The easement is perpetual, meaning any future landowners would be required to abide by the same requirements.
" 'Just as this land serves as a vital anchor for a critical wildlife corridor, the Kohrs themselves have become a cornerstone of conservation in the #FlatheadValley,' reads a Jan. 6 press release from Flathead Land Trust. "Their dedication has created the essential framework for a landscape that remains open, connected and productive, ensuring that the region's natural character endures for generations."

#Equids engineer #desert water availability https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abd6775
They documented 57 vertebrate species, from migratory #birds to #MountainLions, slurping at the wells, which is about equal to the number of species seen at streams and 64 percent higher than dry spots... The water is quite cool, and cleaner than other sources.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/05/02/monuments-california-san-gabriel-berryessa/ #USpol #Conservation"The proclamations enlarge the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument... #Condors once soared in the skies there, but their population has declined because of lead poisoning, habitat destruction and poaching. The area is also home to #BaldEagles, #TuleElk, #MountainLions and other species."

#Texas is the only state with a breeding population of #MountainLions that has virtually no protections for the species. Males, females, and cubs can all be killed year-round, with no limits on harvest. Texas is the only state of the sixteen with breeding populations that allows recreational trapping.
