In this May 15, 2017 photo, Dan Severson, second from left, talks about his experiences with conservation easements in the Burnt Fork area, with Friends of the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge's Paul Hayes and Skip Kowalski and Bitterroot Land Trust's Gavin Ricklefs, at his home in the Burnt Fork area east of Stevensville, Mont. Years ago, the Friends organization designed a popular state license plate that celebrated National Wildlife Refuges. The license plate generated about $20,000 for the organization.
