Why the Gallatin Range
Gallatin Range
The Gallatin Range is a wildlife corridor between the Crown of the Continent and Yellowstone National Park. It provides clean water for nearby towns, a refuge for wildlife and world-class recreation.
The Gallatin Range is a wildlife corridor between the Crown of the Continent and Yellowstone National Park. It provides clean water for nearby towns, a refuge for wildlife and world-class recreation.
But overuse could harm all of these values. The Wilderness Society is working to both protect its wild places and ensure there are recreation opportunities.
Why the Gallatin Range
The Gallatin is the last and largest wild mountain tract bordering Yellowstone Park that is not permanently protected.
Work we’re doing
A long-term vision for the Gallatin Range will permanently protect its core while improving recreational opportunities in the forest that surrounds it.
Our partners
We’re working with diverse groups to create a proposal for the Gallatin that marries wilderness protection and recreational opportunity.
Why Wilderness
Wilderness is a precious resource with many human, natural and economic benefits that we need to protect.
