Lynx, trout, bear and other species will be affected by the Habitat Conservation Plan

Montana DNRC Forested Trust Lands

Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)

HCP Duration

DNRC has proposed that the incidental take permit (ITP) be issued by USFWS for a period of 50 years. This permit period was selected to ensure that the cost and effort of obtaining the permit would be offset by the long-term advantage of ensuring that ESA regulatory requirements were met for those HCP species listed or likely to be federally listed over the next 50 years.
