Montana Wilderness Association

For 60 years, the Montana Wilderness Association has been working with communities across the state to protect Montana’s wilderness heritage, quiet beauty, and outdoor traditions. This general support grant enables the organization to educate the public and policymakers about the value of Montana’s public lands.

This general support renewal grant will support the Montana Wilderness Association’s organizational mission of protecting as much of the state’s remaining 7 million acres of roadless land as possible. To achieve its goal, during the grant period, the Association will seek enactment of new wilderness policies and ensure that Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management plans protect their roadless lands. The Association will work to broaden its support base, particularly among young people, sportsmen, businesses, tribal members, and women. It will also educate decision makers, the public and the media on the value of roadless lands to Montana.
