Rock Ringling looks out across the 4,500-acre Jack Creek Preserve protected in perpetuity through a conservation easement forged with the Montana Land Reliance. The safeguarded wildlife habitat and environs of Jack Creek on the west side of the Madison Range represent a sharp counterpoint to the footprint of intense development only a few miles away in Big Sky that has had huge negative consequences for wildlife. See aerial photo of Big Sky taken by Christopher Boyer below. With billionaires and scores of high-net-worth individuals inhabiting the Yellowstone Club and nearby parts of Big Sky, many wonder why there hasn't been more support for wildlife conservation from members of the community. Wildlife already has given up so much in that corner of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Photo courtesy Montana Land Reliance.
