Support Five Valleys this Summer!

Summer in in full swing in western Montana, and Five Valleys is in high gear working to protect our extraordinary landscape. Earlier this year, we celebrated the conservation of over 4,000 acres in alongside three landowner families and our partners. At the Rock Creek Confluence and the Mount Dean Stone Community Forest, we're busy creating accessible trails that connect more people to the land.

With your help, we can protect an additional 3,950 acres before summer is over.
Matching Challenge

This summer, two generous families will match the first $25,000 we raise. Please consider doubling your impact by giving during our summer campaign!

A button that says "donate"

We invite you to amplify your impact by becoming a monthly donor. You can think of a monthly donation as a subscription to your favorite trails, scenic views, wildlife sightings, and local agriculture.

Thank you to those who have already given! Your generosity is helping protect and care for the land, connect people to place, and build stronger communities through conservation.

From the Missoula and Mission Valleys to Potomac, Philipsburg, andbeyond, here are some of the ways we are putting your support to work:
Launching the next chapter on Mount Dean Stone.

The Skyline Ridge View Trail will offer an accessible backcountry opportunity, while new trail connections will create additional ways to explore the landscape.

Creating open space for all at the Rock Creek Confluence.

We are creating audio and visual interpretation at the seasonal wetland pavilion and breaking ground on two new universal spur trails.

Protecting our landscape

We are advancing efforts to protect over 16,000 acres of working lands, wildlife habitat, and scenic views with our landowner partners.
