BE THE CHANGE

The Nature Conservancy

TNC works with landowners, communities, tribes and government partners to conserve critical landscapes—from mountain ranges and river systems to grasslands and forests—ensuring these places remain healthy for both nature and people.

In the Great Plains and ranching communities, TNC uses tools like grassbank programs that encourage sustainable grazing practices while conserving native grasslands.

TNC helps restore forest health—using science-based methods like thinning and controlled burns to reduce wildfire risks, improve habitat, and strengthen ecosystems.

In every way, the Crown of the Continent earns its name. It is simply majestic. These are 10 million acres of some of the most intact and remote wildlands on the continent. The Crown is an essential home range for wildlife and plant species that have become rare or extinct in other places—animals such as grizzly bears, Canada lynx, gray wolves and bull trout. It is also a key intersection connecting vital habitat in Glacier National Park and the Bob Marshall and Salmon-Selway wilderness areas.
