Both senators Jon Tester and Steve Daines have wilderness-related bills up for hearing on Feb. 7, but their proposals move in opposite directions.

Democrat Tester will present his Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act (S.507), which would add 79,000 acres to the Bob Marshall, Scapegoat and Mission Mountains wilderness areas.

Republican Daines’ Protect Public Use of Public Lands Act (S.2206) would release about half a million acres in the Blue Joint, Sapphire, West Pioneer, Big Snowies and Middle Fork Judith wilderness study areas back to general national forest status.
