Homecoming: Growing up with conservation
Leaving home reminded me how much I love the Treasure State, and how much hard work it takes to keep it special.

Leaving home reminded me how much I love the Treasure State, and how much hard work it takes to keep it special.
A growing number of land transfer bills in Montana and across the West could, among other losses, make it harder for wildlife to access the habitat and other resources they require to survive.
Montana is emerging from over a century of corporate exploitation as a natural resource colony mined for forest, range, and mineral commodities.
From observing wildlife to monitoring water quality, students engage with and learn from their environment at the new parks in East Helena.
Turning Sevenmile Creek into an amazing place for people to learn about nature, to be curious, and to find peace and solace.
Prickly Pear Land Trust completed a fifth conservation project in Broadwater County that protects ranching, wildlife, and national security.
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.
