We included Wild Montana in our estate plan as a way to preserve the glorious Montana wild country we love so much. We’re inspired by Wild Montana’s mission and its effective grassroots approach.

I’m proud to teach my grandkids about the power of Montana’s wild places. I’m also proud to support Wild Montana because they’re leading the charge to protect those places.

– Addrien Marx

Wild places and the outdoors have had a tremendous impact on my life. I’m at a point in my life where I think about what I’ll leave behind, and I want to give back to wild places.

– Jim Cossitt
