#WhitefishMT - #ConservationEasement enhances #WildlifeCorridor near Whitefish
Jan. 13, 2026 — "A newly created conservation easement along the #StillwaterRiver west of Whitefish is expected to help secure a critical wildlife corridor.
"Doug and Carolyn Kohrs worked with #FlatheadLandTrust to establish the 110-acre conservation easement earlier this month. The acreage, which augments a 655-acre conservation easement that the couple established in 2022, connects with the 1,560-acre #KuhnsWildlifeManagementArea and vast swaths of state and federally managed forestlands.
" 'Carolyn and I are excited to add this additional piece of wildlife-critical land to our existing easement,' said Doug Kohrs of the easement. 'Secure and safe wildlife corridors are important for all the different animal species who live in the valley, especially as the inevitable development creeps closer to their natural habitat.'
"The Kohrs have personally documented 95 bird species on the property, along with vital #wildlife species like #GrizzlyBears, #BlackBears, #MountainLions, #wolves, #bobcats, #elk and #deer. The easement also includes a stretch of the Stillwater River that provides habitat for #BullTrout and #WestslopeCutthroatTrout.
"The land was slated for an eight-home #subdivision before the Kohrs acquired it in 2005.
"The terms of the conservation easement prohibit division of the property and regulate construction to specific areas. The land can still be used for #agriculture.
"The easement is perpetual, meaning any future landowners would be required to abide by the same requirements.
" 'Just as this land serves as a vital anchor for a critical wildlife corridor, the Kohrs themselves have become a cornerstone of conservation in the #FlatheadValley,' reads a Jan. 6 press release from Flathead Land Trust. "Their dedication has created the essential framework for a landscape that remains open, connected and productive, ensuring that the region's natural character endures for generations."

**In America, the government doesn’t get to grab people off the streets, skip the courtroom, and send them straight to a foreign prison.** Disappeared in America is a national day of action to stand up for the rule of law and confront the Trump administration’s illegal abductions, detentions, and deportations of people like Mahmoud Khalil, Rui Marras, and Juan Maldonado Zuniga. 🚨**On Thursday, June 26th, we will be protesting with a candlelight vigil outside the Border Patrol building in Whitefish. We will provide candles and sidewalk chalk to write the names of all the disappeared people. We’ll host Protest Karaoke and you can bring your own sign.**🚨 Americans believe in rule of law —and the courts are saying that due process is required. If a president can ignore the courts and disappear lawful residents, there is no limit to what can come next. President Trump has said he wants to abduct and deport U.S. citizens. If this isn’t stopped now, no one is safe. **On June 26th we are launching a national photo petition day where people will take photos with posters of those who have been disappeared and flood social media with the truth.** We are also asking participants to write to their city council council and call on local police departments to refuse to cooperate with directives from the Department of Homeland Security, such as participating in immigration raids, and transferring people to ICE detentions. Police depts have wide discretion in how much they cooperate with ICE. Participation in federal immigration activities places additional burden on local PD and can erode local community trust in local law enforcement. _A core principle behind all Disappeared in America events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values._
