Is the Bitter Root Land Trust a government organization?
No. The Bitter Root Land Trust is a private, nonprofit organization with 501(c)3 status. We have no official connection with The Nature Conservancy or any other national environmental group. We are locally staffed and all of our board members own land in the Bitterroot Valley and live here. We have over 750 members who support our programs. We do occasionally work with government agencies, like the Forest Service, MontanaDepartment of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and the County.
