Big Money Is Building A New Kind Of National Park In The Great Plains

In Montana, a former Silicon Valley entrepreneur wants to create a massive, privately funded public park. Some ranchers oppose the American Prairie Reserve and say they can better conserve the land.

I'd be interested to see if the APR's land acquisitions have slowed down. It was touched on a little in the article, but I think they are starting to see more blow back from the local ranchers. I think we will end up with more ranchers buying the lands as they become available and less land ending up with the APR. I spent a few days in some of this country during rifle season and the number of signs against the APR was no joke.

Nope, I get their newsletter and they're still trying to find the money to buy all the options they have.

I was under strict instructions. Most awkward 30 seconds of my life.

Photographer was a 100lb gal from NYC, I told her we’d be going for a hike in the breaks to do some elk scouting. She showed up in shorts and salomon running shoes.

He does this. He really does. I speak from experience.

Colorfully done @Schaaf

I hope no one else sees the green decoy connection.... I read on the internet that after Schaaf finishes a day of prepping the planes with the chem- trail chemicals he expertly edits videos to try and deceive the sheeple that the faked lunar landing really happened. He also has an underground bunker where he breeds non- native Canadian wolves to release in the new UN reserve.....

So APR will allow hunting? That's cool.

I remember a libertarian site I used to frequent mentioning how APR proves we dont need public land to manage wildlife (or that private industry would do it better). Kinda left a bad taste in my mouth but it doesn't sound like APR is trying to make an argument against public lands.

 

[MTBirdhunter]

Curious as to why the folks who bring us the APR are so concerned with the high plains ? Why not the coast of Californian where their homes are, restore that. Why not the slopes of Big Sky, Tahoe, MT Bachelor, Whitefish? Why not the Cape Cod or Long Island? Why not the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago? We really do not need folks from those places, telling those of us here how to live, GO TO HELL , APR.

Google and reading comprehension. Ready......go.

Hint, they have a web page that discusses it in detail. Knowing you don't really care.

Not sure, but you may be referring to PERC, not in the least affiliated with APR. APR habitat lands do include federal public lands leases and APR collaborates with the BLM and Montana FWP to manage public wildlife.

FYI, I am a third generation Montanan whose grandparents homesteaded near Turner. I have resided only in Great Falls, Qui Nhon, Vietnam, and the Gallatin Valley. I am a to-the-core Montanan and an adamant supporter of the APR.

(Respectfully, I encourage you to learn more about the APR and, in particular, about the wildlife habitat mission.)

I found the article. It was APR but their take on it was misleading:

The Plan to Create a Giant, Privately Funded Nature Reserve by Selling Beef

Montana's American Prairie Reserve aspires to be 1.5 times the size of Yellowstone National Park.

Condescending comments do not make for a good argument. I am very aware of what the APR claims, living in NE Montana, we are well informed, guessing more so then most other parts of Montana. If you choose to answer my original comments, please do. Doubt it though.
