History
Ensuring the historic and natural beauty of Mount Helena remains protected and open has always been central to PPLT’s mission. In 2001, PPLT was the driving force behind creating and maintaining a sustainable and accessible trail system, working in partnership with the City of Helena and Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. In 2019, PPLT expanded this iconic open space by 145 acres, purchasing and donating properties along Le Grande Cannon to the City of Helena, creating vital connections to surrounding neighborhoods. In 2022, PPLT staff and volunteers built five new trails on the Le Grande parcels.
