Mission:
Protecting Northwest Montana’s Spectacular Land & Water Legacy Through Community-Based Conservation
We partner with landowners, agencies, and the community to craft effective land conservation strategies, safeguarding northwest Montana’s irreplaceable beauty, clean water, abundant bird, fish and wildlife habitat, and cherished open spaces. By protecting these cornerstones of our Montana way of life, we ensure a lasting legacy for all.
Harrell Forest Community Trails
We invite you to visit the Harrell Forest trails, located at 1017 Bigfork Stage Road. A collaborative effort over many years with our partners, Trust for Public Land and Montana Land Reliance, we created a flowy forested trail system offering stacked loops for up to 7-mile round-trip treks. The entire 238-acre property is also permanently protected under a conservation easement. (Photo by Casey Kreider courtesy of Daily Inter Lake)

Protect & Connect! Flathead Land Trust’s 40th Anniversary Celebration
Thank you for celebrating with us! Despite a rainy day, our gathering on June 21st was a wonderful tribute to 40 years of conservation in northwest Montana. We gathered on the stunning Kohrs property, nestled along the Stillwater River just west of Whitefish and celebrated with so many of you who were integral to getting us where we are today. Flathead Land Trust has thrived because of all of you! Please join us in one of our other events this year celebrating our 40th Anniversary.
