What We Do

Since 1958, Wild Montana has protected what makes Montana special

In that time, we have built and led a movement that has protected millions of acres of public lands. Our Montana is a wild Montana. Together, we can keep it wild.

We protect the wild

We work from the ground up bringing people and communities together around policies, proposals, and legislation that protect wild public lands and waters from degradation and irresponsible development. Our work safeguards wildlands, secures wildlife habitat and migration corridors, and keeps headwaters and streams running cold, clear, and connected.

We confront climate change

Our work focuses on the conservation of large landscapes across Montana that play crucial roles in mitigating the climate crisis – as habitat for imperiled plant species and as pathways for wildlife moving in response to a changing climate.

We advocate for federal policy and legislation that also keep Montana’s wildlands intact, connected, and resilient, and that enable wildlife populations, plant communities, and human communities to endure and thrive in the face of climate change.

We enhance public land access

We build grassroots support for funding and policies that enable communities to benefit from and enjoy public lands and waters. We maintain and steward trails through public lands by organizing volunteer projects. And we stand at the forefront of the pro-public lands movement in Montana, repelling efforts to privatize and exploit those lands.

We help communities thrive

We advocate for public land policies and legislation that support the health and economic, cultural, and spiritual wellbeing of communities. We’re also working to make public lands more welcoming to all people.
