Montana businesses see the value of public lands

As some of you may know, Business for Montana’s Outdoors recently commissioned a poll of 200 businesses in Montana, representing every county in the state, to get a sense of the MT business support for our public lands.

What we found, not wholly surprisingly, was that most of the businesses we spoke to – 89% – said that national parks, forests and wildlife areas are an essential part of Montana’s economy. Seventy percent say ‘the Montana outdoor lifestyle’ is a factor in deciding to locate or expand their business in Montana.

To that end we have created an info graphic that spells out all of what we heard from our businesses. We are now hoping to share this message across all of our partner networks, and across the many layers of social media that you all cover.

As a good partner in different ways and a variety of endeavors with BFMO, we hope that you’ll help us as well, and share with your partners, followers, and through your respective avenues. The point is to have this message resonate as intensely and as widely as we can communicate it. Feel free to share with other partners as well, as you see appropriate.
