Our Shared Commitment

As public land users and stewards, we all share a deep commitment to the health, longevity, and resilience of these invaluable landscapes. The Public Lands Action Network (PLAN) is a community-led initiative designed to empower individuals with tools, education, and community—from local community members to seasoned advocates—with the knowledge, skills, and networks needed to drive meaningful change. By focusing on education, collaboration, and timely action, we ensure that our shared resources stay in public hands and are managed for the resilience of wildlife and future generations to thrive.

NEPTUNE'S BREWERY PINT NIGHT FOR PUBLIC LANDS, Wednesday, January 14th, 2026 at 5-8pm!

Our first in-person get together will be at Neptune's brewery! Come stop by anytime between 5-8 to learn more about what's going on with the roadless backcountry area rule, find out about proposed changes to the ESA, and help us plan ways to best take action, together as a community.

Appointed leaders in the USDA are still attempting to roll back the Roadless Conservation Area Rule, removing protections from millions of acres, including critical areas right here in Park County. Despite an overwhelming 99% of public comments opposing the rollback, the federal agenda has moved with a reckless hurry and has not held a single public meeting in Montana to discuss this huge policy change. This completely ignores the spirit of public collaboration that has shaped the management and resilience of our local lands.

Call to Action

We call on the USFS to stop cutting the public out of our public lands decisions. They must embrace local discussion and immediately hold open public meetings for Park County communities and Montanans to engage directly to help shape the future of our precious backcountry.

Stay tuned for opportunities to engage and act on key focus areas:

1. Legal Processes & Policy Advocacy

We will provide members with the necessary education to understand and engage in critical federal and state regulatory processes. This ensures our community's voice is heard on policies that directly impact our lands.

2. Shared Resource Management & Resilience

We will facilitate discussions and education around managing complex shared resources for long-term health, focusing on threats and sustainable practices, and public land stewardship actions.

3. Wildlife Movement & Ecosystem Health

We will explore the challenges facing iconic and sensitive wildlife populations and advocate for their protection through legal and community action.

4. Community & Cultural Engagement

We will celebrate and leverage the diverse ways our community connects with public lands, from art and first nations history to hands-on stewardship
