Plain-English Summary

The proposal would permanently protect approximately 3.1 million acres of federal land in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming from oil and gas drilling, mining, and commercial logging, while allowing hunting, fishing, and recreation. It would affect energy companies, mining operations, and timber companies that currently have access to these lands, while benefiting outdoor enthusiasts, conservationists, and communities that depend on tourism and clean water from these ecosystems. The protected areas would include wilderness regions, national forests, and other public lands in the Northern Rockies region.
