Key Habitat Conserved in Northwestern Montana

The Vital Ground Foundation is a land trust that conserves and connects habitat for grizzly bears and other wildlife. We also team up with communities to prevent conflicts between bears and people.

OUR CONSERVATION VISION

Vital Ground’s One Landscape Initiative protects wildlife habitat and prevents conflicts in the most crucial locations linking the Northern Rockies’ wild strongholds. Join us and support a resilient future for wildlife and people!

WHERE WE WORK

Since 1990, we’ve helped protect and enhance 683,000 acres of land. From Yellowstone into Canada, our strategic focus is on remaining grizzly bear habitat in western North America. Our One Landscape Initiative protects private lands that connect the region’s wild strongholds.
