We honor the life of one of KLT’s cherished landowner partners, who passed away recently, leaving behind a lasting gift to the land he loved. Before his death, he chose to protect his 94-acre property in Sanders County, Montana through a Conservation Agreement, ensuring its upland forests, agricultural fields, wetlands, and sweeping Clark Fork Valley vistas would remain working and wild forever.
The land provides vital habitat for countless species, including spring range for elk and deer, and serves as an important connective corridor between public lands, sustaining wildlife movement and agricultural heritage together.
That he took this step in his lifetime speaks volumes about his character: thoughtful, generous, and guided by a deep sense of stewardship for future generations.
“He was the best sort of human, a wonderfully kind and gentle soul, and a jolly old elf with always a twinkle in his eye. And he cared so fervently for his land," our Conservation Director, Regan shared. "Thankfully, he was able to finally make it home from the hospital at the very end to look out his picture window at the place he most loved and feel the sun on his face. I am so honored that KLT could play a role in helping to protect this special place at the end of his journey.”
