We’ve come a long way since the founders of PPLT met for the fist time in a living room at the base of Mount Ascension in 1996. In those 24 years, our supporters and partners have helped us with a wide range of projects. And we are planning even more for the future.
The Greenway will be a corridor located along Prickly Pear Creek from Montana City downstream, through East Helena. PPLT is working with local, State, and Federal agencies to piece together the corridor as well as develop quality access and trails along the creek.
Just Northwest of Helena, PPLT owns and manages 358 acres of grasslands and rolling hills along 2.2 miles of Sevenmile Creek. PPLT is working with a host of public and private partners to reestablish the project area as a functioning floodplain, helping this gem reach its full potential for wildlife, water, and education alike.
Over a ten-year period, PPLT, aided by local government, businesses, and individuals secured Mount Ascension and all its trails for public use. Due to this concerted, cooperative effort, Elk can still be seen from Montana’s Capitol building.
Through a creative partnership with the U.S. military, PPLT brought conservation from the mountains to where folks live, acquiring and protecting two sizeable pieces of property on Helena’s western edge.
