U.S. Congressman Ryan Zinke of Montana on Tuesday announced the Greater Yellowstone Recreation Enhancement and Tourism Act, legislation that aims to protect nearly 100 miles of the Madison and Gallatin rivers, as well as key tributaries, with Wild and Scenic designations.

On November 19, 2024, the Montana Headwaters Legacy Act passed the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee for the first time in its legislative history. This brings the made-in-Montana legislation one step closer to becoming law.

The Montana Headwaters Legacy Act (MHLA) is back in U.S. Senate. We need you to help make it law.

In a huge show of support, advocates sent thousands of letters to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality demanding a healthy Gallatin River.
