Our Values:

• Northwest Connections values place-based, experiential education.
• We believe that good conservation requires thoughtful stewardship of the landscapes where people live, work and play, in addition to the preservation of parks and wilderness areas.
• Durable conservation results from functional collaboration between residents, professional land managers, and a wide range of users.
• Northwest Connections equally values resilient economies, livable communities, and healthy environments.  

Core Impacts:

• Inform and promote place-based natural resource management in Montana's Crown of the Continent ecosystem.
• Inspire the next generation to value and understand the relationship between landscapes and communities.
