Johnston Flathead River Project

Stories from the Land – the Glenn and Hazel Johnston conservation easement.

The Johnston family donated a conservation easement on nearly 700 acres of wetlands, riparian forests and associated farmlands along the Flathead River in 2008. This beautiful  farm includes forested islands and more than a mile of river frontage, home to abundant wildlife. The conservation easement donation is a priceless gift of conservation to the valley, and has helped River to Lake partners secure funding for additional conservation projects by providing matching funds required for federal grants.
