Senator Jon Tester sponsors legislation designating 17 wild and scenic rivers in Montana
October 28, 2020/
The number of miles of wild and scenic rivers in Montana would jump by nearly 87% under legislation to be introduced by Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester.
Tester was joined in Gallatin Gateway Tuesday by representatives of Montanans for Healthy Rivers. The group secured the senator’s sponsorship of the Montana Headwaters Legacy Act, which if passed, would list 336 miles of rivers and creeks in the Custer-Gallatin and Helena-Lewis and Clark national forests under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
