Wildlife species include a resident population of Rocky Mountain goats, elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, mountain lion, bobcat, and upland birds including sharp-tail grouse, Hungarian partridge and ringneck pheasant, while prairie falcons and other raptors use the cliffs along the butte for nesting. The nearly 3,500 acres of federal and state land that encompass Square Butte is easily accessible.

Most of the ranch, not all, is encumbered by a conservation easement with the Montana Land Reliance. A copy of the CE is available to upon request to verified buyers. The Buckskin Butte Ranch is located 32 miles from the Birthplace of Montana. Fort Benton is the longest continuously occupied settlement in Montana, and the world's innermost port. Once accessible by steamboat, it was the economic hub for the Western River system and served as a fur trading outpost on the Upper Missouri River. Forbes once named Fort Benton one of The Fifteen Prettiest Towns in America, and was named a U.S National Register of Historic Places and a U.S. National Historic Landmark District. Fort Benton is home to the Grand Union Hotel, which is Montanas oldest operating hotel. The hotel features 26 guest rooms and is home to one of Montanas finest restaurants, the Union Grille.
