The grasslands in Montana's northeast are listed in an internal Department of the Interior memo as one of 14 sites in nine Western states being considered as national monuments, and thus protected from development. The memo, first reported last month by the New York Times, said the land being considered would stretch from the Bitter Creek Wilderness Study Area outside Glasgow to Canada's Grasslands National Park.
