Dedicated to Protecting Montana's Wild Places
Dedicated to Protecting Montana's Wild Places
We are a non-profit organization composed of Montana citizens who have worked for nature conservation in our state for many years. Our passion for the natural beauty of Montana has led us to dedicate ourselves to protect Montana's wilderness, quiet mountains, rivers, and prairies for future generations. We seek outreach to youth and teens to share conservation education with a focus on history of conservation and inspire them to be future conservationists. Our team consists of experienced professionals who have been working in the field of conservation for several years. We believe that by working together, we can make a difference and leave behind a better planet for our future generations.
Montana Conservation Elders envisions a robust constituency of young people involved in conservation in our state. These future defenders of our rivers and wildlife must be the citizen activists who vote, donate to, and actively get involved in protecting and maintaining our public lands. To prevent the loss of quiet, wild places, MCE hopes to empower the next generation of vigorous, passionate, and effective nature conservation leaders through conservation education and experiences.
To understand and embrace the values of the wild and the actions that make it happen
The protection of Wilderness areas of Montana, our other public lands, the clean waters and the flora and fauna represent our core values. We want to protect these priceless and irreplaceable resources for the generations that follow us.
We strive to minimize our impact on the environment and promote sustainable practices in all aspects of our work. From our paperless headquarters to our efforts to reduce waste and conserve resources, we are committed to protecting Montana's natural resources for future generations.
We are committed to giving back to the community. We organize several events and programs throughout the year to raise awareness about conservation and to educate people about the importance of preserving our natural resources. We also collaborate with other organizations to bring positive change in our community. Our volunteers work tirelessly to make a difference and to create a better world for us and for our future generations.
Over the years, MT Conservation Elders has been involved in numerous environmental cleanup campaigns, habitat restoration projects, and other initiatives to protect Montana's wilderness areas and promote responsible stewardship of our natural resources. We are proud to have helped clean up 25 rivers and launch 24 new conservation campaigns to date.
By becoming a member of MT Conservation Elders, you will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for protecting Montana's wild places. Our community offers a range of benefits, including access to exclusive events and volunteer opportunities, as well as the chance to make a real difference in the fight for nature conservation.

Montana Conservation Elders (MCE) is an independent group of dedicated men and women who have spent their lives defending Montana’s wild and quiet landscapes, clean free-flowing waters, abundant and diverse wildlife populations, and access to our public lands and waters. The inspirational conservation movement in Montana has a long history involving many courageous individuals who have achieved successes in protecting our most magnificent landscapes which Montanans cherish so dearly.
MCE members know that history and are eager to continue that kind of activism. In particular, we want to pass the stories of the achievements of Montana conservationists to the younger generations of Montanans so as to motivate them to continue the legacy.
Many MCE members are in the Montana Outdoor Hall of Fame. Other members are destined to become inductees.
We are citizens of Montana and the democracy that is the United States. Our public lands are a public trust, something of immense value to be passed on to the generations to follow.
