    CONSERVATION LANDS MANAGEMENT DIVISION 100 Hickory St Missoula MT 59801 (406) 552-6263 www.missoulaparks.org Missoula’s Conservation Lands Management Report 2019 Research and Monitoring Activities Summary Report prepared by Clancy Jandreau Conservation Lands Research Coordinator Missoula Parks and Recreation Conservation Lands Management Division [email protected] CONSERVATION LANDS MANAGEMENT DIVISION 100 Hickory St Missoula MT 59801 (406) 552-6263 www.missoulaparks.org 1. Executive Summary The research and monitoring (R&M) program of Missoula’s Conservation Lands Management (CLM) division is responsible for monitoring the conditions and trends of recreational and natural resources on City-owned conservation lands. Staff in the R&M program work to improve land management techniques as well as our understanding of local ecology and the public use of conservation lands. This document provides an overview of R&M activities during the 2019 season. For some projects, more detailed individual reports are available upon request, as indicated in the Table of Contents. In 2019, R&M staff worked on a variety of monitoring and research projects. Monitoring projects included revisiting long-term monitoring plots installed in Missoula’s most intact grasslands. Monitoring of elk use of Mount Jumbo during the winter closure continued in its sixth year, while we revisited elk monitoring plots established in the South Hills for the first time. We also continued a user exit survey begun by University students to characterize recreational use at the South Hills Spur property. By early summer, we completed a comprehensive inventory of infrastructure at all trailheads and access points across the entire Conservation Lands system.

  • Mount Dean Stone Preserve Recreation and Special Resource Management Plan
    Mount Dean Stone Preserve Recreation and Special Resource Management Plan Drafted by: Clancy Jandreau, Conservation Lands Program Specialist; Morgan Valliant, Ecosystem Services Superintendent; and the Conservation Lands Advisory Committee Adopted by: Missoula Parks and Recreation Board on _________, 20___ INTRODUCTION In 2016, the City of Missoula acquired 175 acres of Open Space in Pattee Canyon. In April of 2017, the Missoula Parks and Recreation (MPR) Board adopted a recreation management plan and designated the property as a Park Preserve within the Conservation Lands Management Program (Valliant et al., 2010). At the time, the property was referred to as the South Hills Spur. The South Hills Spur parcels were acquired by the City through a series of property donations and land acquisitions facilitated by Five Valleys Land Trust (FVLT). Since the South Hills Spur property was acquired, FVLT and partners continued land conservation efforts on the flanks of Mount Dean Stone. Through these efforts, the City acquired an additional 360 acres (a.k.a “Mount Dean Stone North”) adjacent to the South Hills Spur property in 2020. Combined, Mt. Dean Stone North and the South Hills Spur total 535 contiguous acres of City- owned public Open Space, hereafter referred to as the Mount Dean Stone Preserve. Although the acquired acres are contiguous, the 360-acre “Mount Dean Stone North” property adds unique and significant natural and recreational values beyond what existed at the time the South Hills Spur Recreation Management Plan was adopted in 2017. In order to reflect these additional acres and the unique values they provide, Missoula Parks and Recreation Department updated the original South Hills Spur Management Plan in 2021.
