Location: Sweathouse Creek Conservation Easement, Victor
IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild™ is coming back to the Bitterroot for a special concert in support of local conservation and the Bitter Root Land Trust.
You’re invited to join BRLT and roam the rolling foothills of the Sweathouse Creek Conservation Easement in Victor while listening to the classical sounds of pianist Hunter Noack. Guests are encouraged to explore the beautiful property while streaming a personal soundtrack through wireless headphones up to 1 mile away from the stage.
The Hackett family, whose legacy of ranching in the Victor dates back to the 1800s, conserved their 540-acre ranch in partnership with the Bitter Root Land Trust, Montana FWP, Ravalli County Fish & Wildlife Association, and other agencies in 2022. The easement offers permanent public access to the community while preserving winter range for elk and deer, and waterways vital for native trout. Read more about the conservation easement here.
The Hackett family’s generous vision to conserve their property and provide public access in perpetuity is a true gift to our community, and will be enjoyed for generations to come.
