Natural Resources
Programs. Our natural resources programs include
assistance with developing renewable energy, noxious
weed eradication, and hazardous fuels reduction in the
wildland/urban interface. The RC&D partners with a
variety of organizations and people to ensure the wise
use of our natural resources.
Current Natural Resources Programs/Projects
Hazardous Fuels Reduction -
The RC&D and
Gallatin County Extension have
joined forces to implement a three-county
Hazardous Fuels Reduction Program. This program provides landowners with technical and financial
assistance with reducing their risk of loss from
wildfire. For more information contact the Gallatin
County Extension office at 406-388-3213 or email
gallatin3@montana.edu.
Noxious Weed Eradication -
The RC&D partners
with Gallatin County Extension to provide landowners
with technical assistance and cost share for controlling
noxious weeds. Visit our
noxious weed page for
more information on the areas we are working in this
year.
Gallatin/Big Sky Noxious
Weed Committee -
The RC&D sponsors a citizen-led effort to combat noxious
weeds from Yellowstone National Park to Four Corners
along the Gallatin River. The Gallatin/Big Sky
Noxious Weed Committee hires professionals to provide
technical assistance and limited cost share for
landowners with noxious weeds. Contact the
G/BS Weed Committee
for more information on this assistance.
Energy Development from
Animal Waste -
The
Northern Rocky Mountain RC&D assists dairies with
determining the feasibility of and obtaining financing
for anaerobic digester projects. To learn more
about our energy programs visit our
energy page.
Wind Energy Assistance -
We provide wind energy assistance for landowners and
communities in Meagher, Park and Gallatin counties.
The RC&D is currently working on an irrigation energy
tool for farmers to use in determining if wind is a good
fit for them. We also provide landowners with
information to assist them in evaluating wind lease
options. For more information on our wind energy
programs, visit our
energy page or the MSU Extension
website.
