What do you love most about Park County? Is it the wide-open views? The iconic wildlife? The agricultural heritage and rural character?

Park County is a profoundly special place because of its uniquely wild and working lands. But did you know our county has lost nearly 40,000 acres of open space to development in just two decades?

Our Northern Yellowstone Open Lands team is committed to protecting these highly productive, wildlife-rich, and scenic lands — and we need your help.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!
Gifts of any size make a difference. Through the end of today (July 31), your donation will be matched 1-for-1 thanks to a generous gift from glassybaby.

FINAL 24 HOURS: Double your impact for Park County's wild and working lands! ⏳

As July comes to a close, we’re reflecting on all the ways we experience summertime in Park County. You may be busy putting up hay and managing water—recharging in the quiet moments in between, pausing to take it all in. Or perhaps you’ve spent your free time floating or fishing our rivers and creeks, or exploring the wilderness and soaking up the beauty of the wildflowers.

Whether you were born and raised here or settled in Park County later, we are all lucky to call this place home—and we share an obligation to protect what makes it
special.

Since 1995, our team has partnered with local families to protect over 22,000 acres of wild and working lands in Park County. But with development pressure growing, our work is far from over.

We need your help to cross the finish line!

Through July 31, every dollar raised for our Northern Yellowstone Open Lands initiative through GIVE A HOOT will be matched $1-for-$1 thanks to a generous donation from glassybaby.

We are currently 75% of the way to our $40,000 goal and only need $10,000 more in the next 24 hours to complete our match.

What stories will we write on this landscape? 🏔️

Some stories are written over centuries by rivers and glaciers carving out valleys or wildlife following ancient migration routes. Others are written in quiet, fleeting moments: the alpine glow in the Crazies, casting a line at sunrise on the Yellowstone, or watching a fawn take its first wobbly steps.

But with rapid land-use changes and subdivision, we have to ask ourselves: What stories are we writing on this land today, and what experiences will we leave behind for the next generation?

You can help protect Park County’s wild spaces and working lands today—and double your impact.

During GIVE A HOOT, all gifts to Northern Yellowstone Open Lands are being matched 1:1 up to $20,000 thanks to glassybaby!

Your $25 becomes $50. Your $500 becomes $1,000.

We’ve inherited a remarkable landscape in Park County. Let’s make sure the stories that we write on the land today continue to connect people and inspire future generations to keep it whole.

Some places have a way of staying with you. 🏔️

When people think about Yellowstone, they picture the national park. But Yellowstone has never existed as an island, and wildlife don’t recognize lines on a map.

Park County is a mosaic of public lands, working farms and ranches, rivers, wildlife habitat, and small communities where wildness is still part of everyday life.

Over the past few decades, thousands of acres of open land have been lost to subdivision and low-density development. Like every community, Park County will continue to grow and change. Not every acre needs to stay the same, but some places are simply too important to lose. The farms, ranches, and big open lands beyond the park do more than support agriculture, clean water, healthy soils, and wildlife migration—they create the experiences that give this place its character.

That's why Northern Yellowstone Open Lands works alongside willing landowners and community partners to conserve the open spaces that hold this landscape together.

💥 Double your impact for Park County's wild and working lands! 💥
Right now, during Give a Hoot, your support goes twice as far. Thanks to glassybaby, all gifts to Northern Yellowstone Open Lands will be generously matched 1:1 up to $20,000.

Help keep this landscape whole for the next generation.

The sound of coyotes talking at night, sunsets over the valley, the smell of fresh-cut hay, and watching the wind make waves in the tall grass. These are the types of moments that inspire our love for the land.

Whether your family has been here for generations or you arrived more recently, you might have had a moment like this. A place that makes you pause. A view you never forget. A quiet realization that this landscape has become part of you.

We work with Park County landowners and communities who want to keep this landscape open, working, and true to its roots. Together, we're helping conserve the ranches, rivers, wildlife habitat, and rural character that make this corner of Montana unlike anywhere else.

Because some places don't just surround us—they become a part of us.

Join us in protecting Park County's wild and working lands by supporting us during Give a Hoot!

Thanks to glassybaby, all gifts to Northern Yellowstone Open Lands will be generously matched 1:1 up to $20,000.

Sound conservation depends on trust.

One of the things we value most about being part of Gallatin Valley Land Trust (GVLT) is the strength and accountability that come with the support of an accredited land trust. Last year, GVLT once again earned accreditation through the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, a recognition of high standards in land conservation, financial stewardship, organizational leadership, and long-term commitment to the land.

For us, that support matters. It means our work in Park County is backed by strong conservation practice, lasting stewardship, and an organization committed to doing things the right way.

Conserving working lands and wildlife habitat means taking the long view, and accreditation helps ensure these places will be protected for generations to come.
