Under Montana’s big sky, there’s growing concern about how to retain our state’s rich native plant diversity and genetics, rare species, unique habitats, and iconic plant communities. Montana is the fourth-largest state, with high biodiversity, large intact habitats, fragmented landscapes, many Tribal nations, an economy supported by agriculture, fossil fuel & timber extraction, tourism, and an increasing and sprawling human population.
This publication represents six years of collective input from a large partnership of people and organizations that share a vested interest in Montana’s flora and habitats. Its purpose is to promote the collective and coordinated stewardship of Montana’s native flora and habitats.
