About

The Madison Valley is quintessential old time Montana. The solitude, scenery, fishing, friendliness, landscapes and wildlife are what keep us here. But Montana is changing.

The key qualities that keep working families on the land are also attracting rapid, unplanned development. Unless we work together, the values we cherish will become little more than memories.

The Ranchlands Group works to keep the ranching way of life viable by protecting open space for productive agriculture, wildlife habitat, recreation and watershed management.

The Ranchlands Group is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. We bring together landowners, property associations, government agencies and conservation organizations to find solutions for Madison Valley. By maintaining the best from the past while managing change in the manner that offers a profitable future

We have the opportunity to shape a positive future for the Madison Valley, and we invite you to support our efforts to keep Montana’s heritage alive.
