Running for about 100 miles in a part of west-central Montana where plains meet mountains, the Front is home to an array of wildlife and known for its solitude. In 1997, a government decision halted new oil and gas leasing on U.S. Forest Service lands along the Front; in 2004, the Bureau of Land Management scrapped an environmental review, which could have allowed development of leases held by Startech Energy Corp., in favor of a larger scale study of the Front that’s still pend- ing. In August, StarTech agreed to sell the leases it holds along the Rocky Mountain Front, joining Questar E&P, which donated its leases to Trout Unlimited two months earlier.
