We live in an extraordinary place . . . Our quiet, friendly towns are steeped in a rich heritage of agriculture and forestry, however, the beauty of the Valley landscape can give us a false sense of serenity. While the water and air look clean, few can ignore the scientific evidence of their declining quality. The pressures of rapidly increasing population can already be seen in budding urban sprawl, heavier traffic, and loss of farmland and open space to residential and commercial development.
Flathead County is now the second fastest growing county in Montana.
We have inadequate guidelines or regulations to preserve farmlands and open space, buffer development around Glacier National Park, or protect wildlife and riparian corridors along our rivers, streams and lakes. Only by working together can we find common ground for creating solutions that will sustain this uncommon place for future generations. Providing friendly help, referrals, information, books and videos. Volunteers are the heart of our organization. Your volunteer support is welcomed and needed.
