Located in rural Montana and North Dakota the park lacks serious environmental threats. Through the Inventory and Monitoring initiative we are developing our baseline data sets for natural resources. Issues of concern are native prairie restoration, exotic plants and the accelerated erosion of the south bank of the Missouri River.
