Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Conservation Easements - GVLT collaborated with a family to conserve 1,240-acres of relatively natural wildlife habitat, working ranchland, and scenic open space adjacent to public lands and other conserved lands in Madison County, Montana. This brings our total conserved land to over 38,000 acres in 87 conservation easements and is a milestone in our goal of protecting the most important private lands in our service area. As an accredited land trust, we provided stewardship and monitoring to every conservation easement that we hold and maintained records of our stewardship work. We also continued with outreach to landowners in our priority focus areas, providing information about conservation options and assisting landowners with cost-share funding when possible.

Activity 3

Education - GVLT provided educational programs for approximately 10 organizations and at many community events throughout the year. We also publish a monthly E-Newsletter that reaches over 1,500 addresses. GVLT's Annual Report reached more than 2,000 community members. The GVLT website is updated bi-monthly with current news relating to community trails, private land conservation and events open to the public. We have a Facebook page and can also be followed on Twitter. We had over 4,272 volunteer hours for the organization in the year, and all volunteers are educated about the mission and accomplishments of GVLT during their service.
