In Montana, private and community forest landowners are responsible for nearly 25% of Montana's forested areas, covering 4.6 million acres of the Treasure State. The DNRC Forest Stewardship Program exists to ensure that Montana's private forest landowners have the resources they need to make their sustainable forest management goals a reality.
