A conservation group sued the Interior Department this week over the government’s plan to manage the National Bison Range on the Flathead Reservation near Missoula.
The Blue Goose Alliance says the proposed partnership with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes to manage the wildlife refuge breaks several federal laws and policies and will disrupt nationwide oversight of the area, putting the bison at risk.
