The Gallatin Forest Partnership

The people behind the act

The Greater Yellowstone Conservation and Recreation Act is proposed by the Gallatin Forest Partnership.

The Gallatin Forest Partnership is a coalition of recreationists, business owners, landowners, and conservationists who call the Madison and Gallatin ranges home and are committed to finding a realistic solution to protecting this remarkable landscape. Since 2016, the Gallatin Forest Partnership has been advocating for permanent protections for these ranges. The partnership’s goals are to protect drinking water, conserve core wildlife habitat, and maintain access to recreation and our public lands.

Nearly 2,000 citizens, business owners, and recreation advocates have endorsed the Gallatin Forest Partnership. In 2024, the Gallatin and Madison County Commissions endorsed the Gallatin Forest Partnership and proposed legislation, the Greater Yellowstone Conservation and Recreation Act.
