Governor Bullock, Montana’s Future Leaders Celebrate Public Access and Conservation

Governor Steve Bullock today joined students serving with Montana Conservation Corps’ Middle School Youth Program to celebrate the completion of projects at Prickly Pear Land Trust’s Tenmile Creek Park to reroute area trails and build accessible picnic table pads.

“Introducing students to conservation early, especially in a hands-on way, can instill a lifelong dedication to protecting Montana’s clean air, clean water and our public lands,” Governor Bullock said. “I’m positive our future leaders have the passion and leadership to make decisions that will protect this great state and honor generations to come.”

Governor Bullock thanked students for their hard work over the last week and spoke to them about the importance of public access and conservation. The crew gave Governor Bullock a tour of the work they completed and recruited him to help stain the accessible picnic tables to wrap up their week-long program.
