The groups

No group is listed for Gallatin Range yet

A group is listed here only with a source that ties it to the Gallatin Range: a court case, its own comment to the agency, its own page, an event on its calendar. None is held yet. That is not the same as nobody fighting.

Your group works here? Add it. Send the page on your group’s own site that says it works on the Gallatin Range. A person on the desk reads it before anything lists.

The situation

What’s happening to Gallatin Range

The wildest unprotected mountain range in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a critical corridor for grizzlies, wolves, and elk moving between Yellowstone and the northern ranges. Wilderness proposals have stalled for decades while Bozeman’s boom creeps closer to the ridgeline. Every year the window narrows.

Court cases: CourtListener dockets in the MTJP litigation database (2 naming this place). Which groups are listed for this place: a group is listed only under a sourced fact, and each chip opens its source. Local means headquartered in the state (the group’s own site, else the legal domicile on its 990) or the place named in its mission on its latest 990. In the fight means a case over the place naming it (the court docket), its own comment on a decision about the place (regulations.gov), an editors’ link with its source or its own page approved by a person here, or events on its own calendar held at the place. No fact, no listing. Org-reported figures are always labeled. Data verified as of 2026-11-01. No group pays to be listed on this page or for where it sits.
