Established in 1991, the Montana Grazing Lands Coalition was the first of its kind - a convening of industry partners with the goal of increasing the availability of technical assistance resources for agricultural producers. Over the years, the mission has continued even as the group of stakeholders has evolved.

Today, Montana GLC is working to serve more producers than ever before by building strong partnerships, forging new paths toward innovation and advanced grazing management planning, and facilitating conversations between landowners and agencies to better understand everyday needs and fill gaps in technical assistance and resource delivery.

At the core of our mission is sound grazing management planning, technical assistance delivery, and community-based collaboration resulting in the protection and preservation of the Treasure State’s most valuable resource: grazing lands.

Beyond technical assistance, we’re building strategic partnerships, collaborating on new, innovative grazing solutions, and working toward a bigger, more connected network of producers, agencies, NGO’s, and other stakeholder groups interested in conserving Montana’s working lands and preserving the state’s ranching heritage.
