Want to connect with your western Montana open lands? Join us for events, workshops, and volunteering opportunities! This list will be updated throughout the year:
For anyone looking to get up close and personal with our local feathered friends, look no further than our Rock Creek Confluence this summer! We've partnered with the University of Montana's Bird Ecology Lab to have a bird banding station at the Confluence for a 10th year of science, community engagement and fun. Banding dates are open to the public - no RSVP required. Check out this year's dates and learn more.
Support your local private conservation lands! During this Hands on the Land volunteer workday we'll be helping to mitgate weeds on the scenic Boyer Ranch. Snacks and drinks will be provided, and carpooling is availalble with prior arrangement. RSVP to Mari at mari@fvlt.org.
Wake up, lace up, and help support the Missoula Marathon and our partners at Run Wild Missoula! Five Valleys will be manning the aid station at mile 5.5 (aka station #2), passing out water and cheering on the racers. RSVP to Julie at julie@fvlt.org (please include your shirt size).
