Trust Lands Surface Tracts

The Trust Lands Management Division administers and manages the state trust timber, surface, and mineral resources for the benefit of the common schools and the other endowed institutions in Montana, under the direction of the State Board of Land Commissioners. The division is divided into four primary management programs: Agriculture and Grazing (including Recreational Use), Forest, Minerals, and Real Estate Management. Agriculture and Grazing Management The Agriculture and Grazing Management Program is responsible for leasing and managing approximately 9,000 agreements for crop and rangeland uses on 4.76 million acres of school trust lands throughout the state. Administrative staff and specialists in the department's Helena office and staff in field offices statewide manage the program. Forest Management The Forest Management Bureau manages Montana's forested trust lands to maximize long-term revenue while promoting healthy and diverse forests on over 780,000 acres. Revenue from forested trust lands is mainly derived from the sale of forest products. Minerals Management The Minerals Management Bureau, (MMB), is responsible for leasing, permitting, and managing approximately 5,301 oil and gas, metalliferous and non-metalliferous, coal, sand and gravel agreements on 2.1 million acres of the available 6.2 million acres of school trust lands and approximately 5,632 acres of other state-owned land throughout Montana. Real Estate Management The Real Estate Management Bureau manages all activity on trust lands not classified as grazing, agriculture, or timber. These "other" surface tracts are administered for the benefit the trust through leasing, short-term licenses, land exchanges and sales, and through issuing right-of-way agreements.蒙大拿州信托土地管理部门（Trust Lands Management Division）在州土地委员会（State Board of Land Commissioners）的指导下，负责管理州信托木材、地表及矿产资源，以服务全州公立学校与其他受捐赠院校的福祉。该部门下设四大核心管理项目：农牧业与放牧管理（含休闲使用）、森林管理、矿产管理及不动产管理。 农牧业与放牧管理 农牧业与放牧管理项目负责租赁并管理全州范围内476万英亩学校信托土地上的约9000份作物与牧场使用协议。该项目由部门海伦娜办公室的行政人员与专业人员，以及全州各实地办事处的工作人员共同运营管理。 森林管理 森林管理局负责管理蒙大拿州境内逾78万英亩的森林信托土地，在促进森林健康多元发展的同时最大化长期营收，其收入主要来源于林产品销售。 矿产管理 矿产管理局（Minerals Management Bureau, MMB）负责租赁、许可并管理全州范围内的相关使用协议：在620万英亩可用学校信托土地中的210万英亩，以及约5632英亩其他州有土地上，共计约5301份油气、金属矿、非金属矿、煤炭及砂石使用协议。 不动产管理 不动产管理局负责管理未被归类为放牧、农牧业或林业的信托土地相关全部事务。此类"其他"地表地块通过租赁、短期许可、土地交换与出售，以及颁发通行权协议等方式，为信托基金实现收益。
