Want to connect with your western Montana open lands? Join us for events, workshops, and volunteering opportunities! This list will be updated throughout the year:
For anyone looking to get up close and personal with our local feathered friends, look no further than our Rock Creek Confluence this summer! We've partnered with the University of Montana's Bird Ecology Lab to have a bird banding station at the Confluence for a 10th year of science, community engagement and fun. Banding dates are open to the public - no RSVP required. Check out this year's dates and learn more.
Celebrate music, food, conservation, and community at the 2025 Old Salt Festival, and support Five Valleys while you do it! Use the code FVLT10 when you purchase your tickets and 10% of your purchase will come back to Five Valleys. Thank you, Old Salt Festival! Learn more and get tickets.
Wake up, lace up, and help support the Missoula Marathon and our partners at Run Wild Missoula! Five Valleys will be manning the aid station at mile 5.5 (aka station #2), passing out water and cheering on the racers. RSVP to Julie at julie@fvlt.org (please include your shirt size).
