BIGFORK — The Flathead Land Trust just celebrated its 40th anniversary last month and is now saving 40-acre plots of land.

The land trust partnered with the Bradshaw family to preserve their 40-acre property in Bigfork.

It borders other protected land, including the 238-acre Harrell Forest Community Trails Property also managed by Flathead Land Trust, creating a wildlife corridor.

Some of that wildlife includes white-tailed deer, coyotes, various birds, and more.

Protecting a piece of land like the Bradshaw property ensures that the Bigfork community will benefit.

"It ensures that the wildlife that folks see in the community will continue to have the habitat it needs and just that open space is a value to the community of Bigfork generally," Flathead Land Trust Land Protection Specialist Ryan Hunter says.

The land trust will protect the Bradshaw Property with minimal intervention to maintain its natural habitat.
