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:
Looking to get up close and personal with our feathered friends? Look no further than our Rock Creek Confluence! We've partnered with the University of Montana's Bird Ecology Lab to have a bird banding station on the east side of the Confluence for an 11th year of science, community engagement and fun. Banding days are open to the public - no RSVP required! Learn more and get directions.
Five Valleys is thrilled to be the local nonprofit partner of the 2026 Zootown Festival! By entering to win an exclusive VIP experience with Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers you can help support our work - a win-win for concerts and conservation.
The package includes two VIP tickets to the Festival, a meet and greet with Wesley Schultz, access to the VIP lounge and dedicated front stage viewing areas, choice of awesome outdoor excursions (including flyfishing, rafting, and more), and merch and gift cards from some of Missoula's favorite businesses. Thank you, Zootown Festival! Learn more and enter to win here.
Hungry for delicious food, boot-stomping music, land stewardship, and community? Come say hello to Five Valleys' table during the Old Salt Festival!
For three days, the Old Salt Festival, located on the Mannix Ranch, creates space for what endures – land stewarded well, food raised right, conversations that matter, and community that’s built deliberately. Learn more and get tickets.
Start your day with stoke by volunteering with us at the Missoula Marathon! We are pumped to be back manning Aid Station #3 on Sunday, June 28th. Join us from 4:45am - 8:00am at Mile 5.6 to hand out water and cheer on the runners.
That's right - this awesome EARLY bird gig gives back through our community partner, Run Wild Missoula, and still gets you back in time to celebrate at the finish line. Sign up here.
We are excited to be the first nonprofit partner of Logjam Presents' new Flowing Back to the Community concert series! Through a partnership with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Logjam Presents is supporting Montana nonprofits that help protect the lands, wildlife, and communities that make our state special.
Five Valleys' concert is Ziggy Marley on Sunday, June 28th. Going to the show? Consider raising a glass to Five Valleys and conservation in western Montana! Thank you, Logjam Presents and Titos Handmade Vodka.
Don't just give - give smartly! Join us for a lunch and learn about smart charitable giving. From donor-advised funds to leaving nonprofits in your will, this program will give you the information you need to save on taxes, simplify your giving, and make a difference for the causes you care about.
This event is free and lunch is provided, but space is limited. RSVPs are required. Reserve your spot by emailing Minette at minette@fvlt.org.
