Summary by Ground News
The Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act would add about 78,000 acres of wilderness to the Bob Marshall, Scapegoat and Mission Mountains wilderness areas. In October 2021, the bill was brought to a committee vote but was opposed by Sen. Steve Daines, who said the bill shouldn't move forward unless it was combined with a bill he was writing. The Sportsmen Conservation Act would eliminate wilderness protection from more than 100,00 acres.
