Bonneville Power Administration provided funding for the transaction. The transaction preserves nearly two miles of high quality, intact cottonwood/riparian riverbank habitat important for federally-protected bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout. Combined with adjacent protected lands, this property helps maintain the integrity of this portion of the Flathead River and benefits other wildlife such as migratory birds, pheasants, bald eagles, osprey, black bears and whitetail deer.
