Dear Friends,
AS WE REFLECT ON THE PAST YEAR, one thing remains abundantly clear: Montana’s landscapes hold an enduring value for all of us. Whether you are a lifelong resident, a newcomer drawn to our state’s beautiful scenery, or a visitor discovering its charm for the first time, Montana’s open spaces and agricultural landscapes offer something for everyone.
Our shared appreciation for protected places will remain constant as Montana continues to grow. From the working lands that define our agricultural heritage to the mountains and rivers that inspire recreation and reflection, the land is the cornerstone of our way of life. With development pressure increasing, the importance of preserving our open spaces cannot be overstated. Productive landscapes not only feed families and fuel our economy, but also offer us all the opportunity to connect with something larger than ourselves…
