Friends of Park County

The mission of Friends of Park County is to promote thoughtfully planned growth in order to protect and enhance Park County's vibrant communities, sustainable working lands, and healthy natural resources.

Park County is a world-class place with lively communities, breathtaking views, extraordinary natural resources, productive agricultural lands, and spectacular wildlife. We believe in a future that maintains these cherished assets, even as we grow.

Friends of Park County focuses on one thing: planning for the ever-faster growth coming our way. We can see what may be in our future if we look west to the Gallatin Valley and across the Mountain West - sprawling development, ranchlands converted to subdivisions, depleted and polluted water supplies, expensive housing, and stressed wildlife.

That's why we work for land use policies and decisions that protect the community character, agricultural lands, water, open space, and wildlife habitat of Park County.

To keep Park County, Livingston, and all our communities places we and future generations will be proud to call home, we need an organization dedicated to managing our growth. That's why we exist.
