Their mission is to protect for future generations western Montana’s natural legacy – our water, wildlife habitats, agricultural lands, and community open spaces.

The Five Valleys they serve are the Bitterroot, the Blackfoot, the upper Clark Fork, the lower Clark Fork, and the Mission-Jocko.

They believe that the character of these valleys, and the thriving communities in them, is rooted in the clean rivers, open lands, and abundant wildlife that surround them. They work with communities, private landowners, governments, and other partners to protect these natural treasures for the benefit of this and future generations.
