MT Conservation License Required for Access to State Trust Lands

Your Montana state land adventure starts with one thing more important than snacks or spray…

Before you head out to hike, fish, camp, or just find yourself somewhere off-grid on state trust lands, make sure you have the one thing more important than bear spray and beef jerky: your Montana Conservation License.

It is not just a piece of paper; it’s your all-access pass to explore most state trust lands legally, responsibly, and guilt-free. Plus, your dollars go to a good cause: supporting Montana’s public schools and keeping our FWP lands in tip-top shape.

Grab yours online at ols.fwp.mt.gov or stop by a local vendor. Adventure legally. Wander freely. Conserve proudly.
