American Prairie announces purchase of 2,000 acres in Phillips County

“Not only are these properties critical as sections of land that connect vital habitat, they also support the Big Warm Creek system — an important stream and riparian area,” Alison Fox, CEO of American Prairie, said in a statement.

The acquisitions bring American Prairie’s total deeded and leased property in northeastern Montana to more than 462,000 acres, much of it close to the Missouri River Breaks.
