Montana SB 354: Fly-By-Night Legislation Jeopardizes Stream Access
Prescriptive easements. Not something you hear of everyday, but certainly a critical component of establishing access to large portions of land throughout the west. In Montana, public access to waters are currently under attack. Our neighbors to the north have always supported USAC and now, more than ever, we need to support stream access in Montana. While USAC has always focused on stream access, this legislation threatens to curtail access beyond waterways in Montana. Despite this bill being fast-tracked through the legislature, there are several things USAC members can do to support access in Montana:
- Forward this message to everyone who uses Montana public lands and waters and values public access.
- Reach out to Montana legislators and tell them to Vote No on SB 354! You can find Montana legislators by clicking here.
- Alternatively, you can call 406-444-4800 and leave a message.
- Explore the Public Land Water Access Association Inc.’s website and read about Prescriptive Access, Resolved Issues that have benefitted from it, and this current Legislative Session.
As always, we appreciate your support as we continue the fight  . Sincerely,
Board of Directors
Utah Stream Access Coalition
