Missoula County developing small-acreage agricultural conservation program; first project expected before end of 2026

Missoula County Commissioners · August 19, 2026

Summary

Missoula County's open-lands office is creating a program aimed at conserving small agricultural parcels nearer town. The office hopes to complete its first small-ag conservation project before the end of 2026, the manager said.

Missoula County is developing a targeted program to conserve smaller agricultural parcels closer to town that contribute to local food production and open-space connectivity. "We have a lot of really important small agricultural parcels...working with landowners who are trying to find some solutions for smaller acreage conservation," Jenny Zezzo said.

Zezzo told commissioners the program is well underway and the office expects to complete its first small-scale agricultural conservation project before the end of 2026. The effort aims to help local producers protect land that supports local food systems and to assemble connector parcels that link larger conserved areas.
