We are proud to feature the Bitterroot Valley and the work BRLT supports in conservation, the vision of our landowners, and trust built in the community we love in a short documentary film, Made in Montana, produced by Carhartt, Ace, and Stept Studios.

How to help

When you support BRLT, your support goes toward on-the-ground conservation success in the Bitterroot Valley. Nearly all of the beautiful landscapes that appear in the video are protected in perpetuity by local landowners through partnerships with BRLT and other partner organizations, including Skyline Angus and Flying E Ranch in Stevensville, and Sandhill Basin in Hamilton. That means preserving critical wildlife corridors for native species like elk and deer, agricultural ground for local families to grow hay and cattle, Bitterroot River and stream frontage that provides clean drinking water and healthy fisheries, and riverfront parks with nature trails where people of all ages can connect with nature.

Behind the scenes with BRLT and Carhartt

Your support makes this possible.

The opportunity to showcase our work on a national level was made possible by you, our Bitterroot Valley community. The way our community has come together since BRLT’s inception in 1997 around shared values to protect the place we love rings loud and clear. Our people are passionate about our one-of-a-kind wildlife, multigenerational family farms and ranches that put food our our table, crystal clear water that provides clean drinking water, and world-class recreation opportunities that makes this place, the one-and-only Bitterroot Valley, home.

It’s clear that conservation is part of our Bitterroot Valley legacy. 

Thank you for your generous support, to the Lewis, Severson, Trexler, and Ratcheson families, and to the Carhartt® brand for partnering with BRLT to protect more special places in the Bitterroot Valley for future generations.
