Roughly a thousand people rally in Missoula to protect public lands – Rallygoers ‘Stand Up for Science’ at Montana State University as part of nationwide campaign
March 10, 2025/
On Sunday, nearly a thousand people marched from McCormick Park to Caras Park and back — advocating for environmental protections and public land management amidst federal cuts.
The “March for Our Public Lands” protest began at 11 a.m. with several speakers, including several democratic Missoula lawmakers, marking the start of the protest by addressing the crowd.
“By taking away the people who take care of the land, it’s going to open it up for potentially private sale or turning the land over to the states, which could then lead to private sale, which is not what we’re trying to do,” said Haley Gamertsfelder, co-organizer of the march.
