We’re inspired by Western Montana landowner Betty Thisted, who opens her land to students from Frenchtown Elementary for hands-on outdoor learning.

Thank you Betty for helping grow the next generation of stewards to Keep it Montana.

It’s encouraging to see continued federal investment in working lands conservation and recognition of the important role conservation easements play in protecting forests, wildlife habitat, open spaces, and rural economies.

Conservation works best when it keeps landscapes productive and connected for future generations.
