A key Helena-area wetland was purchased with open space bond money, and money from Montana Audubon, Last Chance Audubon, the Mikal Kellner Foundation, and Prickly Pear Land Trust. The land is adjacent to the Lewis and Clark Fairgrounds. It contains an important piece of the remaining wet- lands in the North Helena Valley, and its protection enlarges a wetland complex that is already in public ownership. The land is vital to birds, particularly mi- grants, as they pass through the Helena Valley. The property is owned and managed by the City of Hel- ena as a natural area; Montana Audubon retains a conservation easement on the parcel. Voters approved Helena's $5 million Open Space Bond in 1996. The term of the general obligation bond is 20 years, which is paid by a property tax levy that averages $33 per residence per year.
