Our valley teaches you to be resilient, through experiences that require grit and perseverance that allow us to recover quickly, adapt and carry on. This Bitterroot resilience is in all of us, as the Bitterroot spirit inside all of us refuses to let us give up.
Despite a challenging year for conservation, BRLT has been determined to move the needle forward and, with your help, conserved nearly 800 acres of Bitterroot Valley land in perpetuity. And we’re not slowing down.
To keep the momentum going into 2026, several longtime supporters of BRLT have offered a generous year-end donation of $75,000 for Bitterroot conservation… if we receive 325 contributions (in any amount) from individual supporters by December 31, 2025.

This year, the Bitter Root Land Trust (BRLT) has had to be resilient in the face of external challenges, and we need your help to keep conservation resilient in 2026.
Together in 2025, we conserved nearly 800 acres of Bitterroot wildlife habitat, agricultural open space, and recreational land; made progress on over 20 new conservation easement projects that will conserve over 4,200 acres; created a new program to support generational land transfer; and purchased the land for a new public-access nature park in Victor.
In 2026, we will move all of this and more forward, together, but we need your help.
Will you please help keep conservation resilient next year with a gift of any size that will unlock our $75,000 match?
What will your donation support?
With your gift today, we can continue to create opportunities for local landowners across the valley who understand the urgency behind conserving Bitterroot land now, before it is too late.
In addition to the 21 families BRLT is working with on active conservation projects, more than 80 families have expressed interest in conserving their own family farms and ranches, open space for wildlife, and Bitterroot River and stream frontage.
By giving today, you will allow BRLT to help even more families grow our valley’s conservation legacy.
