Thanks to the generosity of Harald and Peggy Ring in Big Sky, we have officially completed our 120^th GVLT conservation easement.

As an organization who’s work is tied to the land, GVLT holds respectful acknowledgment and honor for the tribes who stewarded this unique landscape from time immemorial.

Did you know that the north-south path through Highland Glen began as an ancient bison trail connecting the Gallatin Valley with the Yellowstone River Valley and beyond?

This small but mighty ¼ mile paved pathway begins at the intersection of Birch (Oak) Street and Rouse Avenue and includes a pedestrian bridge crossing Bozeman Creek.

In partnership with the Flikkema family, GVLT established its 118th conservation easement, protecting 426 acres of farmland and open space in the Amsterdam-Churchill region of Gallatin County.

Finally, 28 years after the Main Street to Mountains concept was conceived, GVLT secured the necessary trail easements to close the gap through State of Montana DNRC land, private land, and GVLT conserved land.

A 160-acre piece of land in the West Bridger Mountains that was once private is now public thanks to a local family, a land trust and various donors.

GVLT reached its 50,000 acres-conserved milestone with the successful completion of a conservation easement in the Amsterdam-Churchill area of Gallatin County on the Madison-Gallatin Plateau.

GVLT successfully applied to renew Gallatin Regional Partnership Program (Gallatin RCPP) funding through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to the tune of $3.8 million.

It’s official: 12 acres off Bozeman’s iconic Peets Hill will be preserved as a city park.
