Mission
To promote public awareness of the danger of human caused wildfires on Montana’s ecosystems, communities, and natural resources; and to enlist active support in fire prevention and protection efforts.
Vision
Keep Montana Green envisions Montana as the preeminent fire adapted state in the nation. We strive for every student, citizen, business, and tourist in Montana to actively engage in human caused wildfire prevention and protection.
History
Since Keep Montana Green’s (KMG) formation at the end of World War II, we have been dedicated to the prevention of human-caused wildfires. KMG was formed in 1945, chartered as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization in 1961, and is governed by a Board of Directors representative of its membership. KMG maintains active public education and media programs focused on the prevention of wildfires in Montana.
