Our
Mission:

Protecting Northwest Montana’s Spectacular Land & Water Legacy Through Community-Based Conservation

We partner with landowners, agencies, and the community to craft effective land conservation strategies, safeguarding northwest Montana’s irreplaceable beauty, clean water, abundant fish and wildlife habitat, and cherished open spaces. By protecting these cornerstones of our Montana way of life, we ensure a lasting legacy for all.

 

Harrell Forest Community Trails

We invite you to visit the Harrell Forest trails, located at 1017 Bigfork Stage Road. A collaborative effort over many years with our partners, Trust for Public Land and Montana Land Reliance, we created a flowy forested trail system offering stacked loops for up to 7-mile round-trip treks. The entire 238-acre property is also permanently protected under a conservation easement. (Photo by Casey Kreider courtesy of Daily Inter Lake)
