Welcome to the WildWest Institute

The WildWest Institute is a non-profit, grassroots environmental organization based in Missoula, Montana. Our mission is to protect and restore forests, wildlands, watersheds and wildlife in the Northern Rockies.

We help craft positive solutions that promote sustainability in our communities through jobs restoring naturally functioning ecosystems and protecting communities from wildfire. We also ensure that the government follows the law and best science when managing our public forests by fully participating in the public decision process and through on-the-ground monitoring.

Make sure to check out WildWest's Blog of the Wild and learn more about our current programs. Members are an important part of our success and we would appreciate your support, so please consider becoming a member.
