Trust Montana is a statewide land trust and coalition of diverse land stewards dedicated to preserving Montana’s natural, cultural, and historic heritage.

“Our current status as a place where beautiful wildlands surround healthy villages and a dynamic culture is something that has been bequeathed to us through the accident of history.  Ours is not a task of preserving a pastoral relic, but of recognizing the present balance and figuring out how to make our own accommodations within the flux.”

-John Elder, at a Vermont Land Trust annual meeting, 1996.
