U of M’s bipartisan survey asks how Montanans feel about a myriad of issues surrounding public lands and conservation. It’s important to note that this year’s polling was conducted while the pandemic was already in full swing. Yet, even amidst the confusion and uncertainty of these unprecedented times, the numbers are clear. Montanans care enormously about their land, water, and wildlife - perhaps even more so in times of crisis.

Many of you have probably had your fill of statistics after learning to teach your children’s math classes. But bear with us because there are a few figures we’re quite proud of. The survey had some extremely encouraging results for a number of issues we’re working on at GYC with the help of supporters like you.
