The Montana Land Reliance is a proud member of the Partnership of Rangeland Trusts (PORT), a group of agricultural-focused state conservation associations. Together, PORT members across 12 states have partnered with over 2,000 farm and ranch families to conserve more than 3.1 million acres. One family’s decision to conserve their land contributes to a much larger mission that keeps the agricultural foundation of the West and Midwest prosperous and productive.
