Prickly Pear Park is a true story of transformation. The former industrial site now features beautiful Prickly Pear Creek, wetlands bursting with birds, and stunning views of the Elkhorn and Big Belt Mountains.
The Helena C.O.R.E. Summer Walk series is a collaborative community education program offering free, biweekly guided walks that explore our area’s natural and cultural treasures.
We are proud to announce a landmark conservation easement with Avalanche Corporation, representing the Des Rosier family. Together, we’ve permanently protected 5,300 acres of culturally and ecologically significant land in the Big Belt Mountains, territory of the ǎamskǎaṗii ṗiik̇ǔnii (Southern Blackfeet).
If you’re happy and you know it, then show it! Share your love for open lands with Happy Trails and Room to Roam gear.
Prickly Pear Land Trust recognizes that the lands we conserve are the traditional and contemporary territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfeet), the Sélish (Salish), the Ktunaxa (Kootenai), the Métis (Little Shell Chippewa), the Apsáalooke (Crow), and the Shoshone-Bannock peoples. The Indigenous Nations who continue their connections with this ground, these waters, and all creatures have always and will always be the original stewards of the land. PPLT prioritizes Indigenous partners and actively seeks projects that respect their cultures, honor their values, and create a collaborative conservation vision.
