For decades, oil and gas companies have taken advantage of a broken federal leasing system in an effort to stockpile our nationâs precious public lands. The industryâs exploitation of this system has prompted Montanans and other stakeholders across the West to call for reforms to the leasing system. Those calls have gotten louder over the last few years as itâs become more apparent the system is undermining our public lands, outdoor recreation economy, and the economic health of local communities.
Thankfully, the Biden administration acted quickly upon taking office, putting a temporary pause on all new oil and gas leasing so it can review the system and make it work better for everyone. As the administration uses this pause as an opportunity to evaluate the leasing program, itâs crucial that it address the glut of public lands the industry has leased.
In central Montana, sagebrush-covered hills roll gently down toward Arrow Creek before dropping off in dramatic cliffs where the creek joins the Missouri River. This Bureau of Land Management land, near the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, is prime habitat for deer, elk and game birds. Arrow Creek’s remote location and its renown as a hunting destination made it an ideal candidate to debut a new land-management designation: the backcountry conservation area.
Backcountry conservation areas were conceived as a compromise between giving land the full protections and restrictions of a designated wilderness area, and offering no protections at all: a way to conserve big game wildlife while still supporting recreational access.
