Stream Access Lawsuit

On April 29, the Montana Supreme Court will hear oral argument in a bridge access lawsuit that has the potential to undo Montana’s thirty-year old stream access law.  The lawsuit, dubbed the "Seyler Lane Case," was brought to expand stream access by a special interest group, Public Lands/Water Access Association, against Madison County and conservationist landowner James C. Kennedy.

UPOM has filed an amicus brief in the case to support Kennedy and property owners of every stripe.  Learn more about the lawsuit, PLAA, and the stream access law here.

There are two sides to every story. Unfortunately, all too often there is one side that is championed by the media and one side that is downplayed. UPOM is dedicated to ensuring that the rights of Montanas landowners are protected in the ongoing battle to uphold private property rights. 

The video (right) on the Mitchell Slough controversy, produced by the Property and Environmental Research Center (PERC), gives a very good explanation of the Mitchell Slough case and what that case really meant for private property owners across the state of Montana.
