OUR GOAL: $25,000
As Big Sky grows, so does the impact to the land around us — and our responsibility to protect it.

This year, a record 91 landowners turned to us for expert guidance on managing the ecological health of their properties. Since we started our landowner assistance program, we’ve assisted over 1,000 landowners across nearly 13,000 acres, with the numbers growing every year.
Our education programs are growing, too. We have towed our education trailer nearly 4,000 miles to advance our conservation message across Southwest Montana. We’ve educated 2,747 kids and 2,037 adults across 67 events — far bigger numbers than last year’s.

Education and guidance is critical to conserving Big Sky. But there’s only one way that we can keep up with this region’s growth: Grow Wild needs to grow with it.
To meet this challenge, we’re growing our staff: we’ve hired Abby Butler to be our Conservation Program Coordinator. This new position is essential to advancing the day-to-day mission of our work and strengthening Grow Wild’s role as a conservation leader.
Now, we ask for your help: donate today to ensure that we can continue to serve this community, assist landowners, and educate the next generation of land stewards.

Grow Wild began in 2004, when two local fishermen witnessed spotted knapweed taking over Gallatin Canyon and decided to take action. Ever since, we have been a proactive force in combating the ecological threat of invasive species throughout the Gallatin Watershed.
Our mission has always been more than managing invasive species. We conserve native plants and improve vital habitats. We educate the community about invasive species and how to manage them. And we inspire our neighbors to be stewards of the land.
