Thanks to two grants from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), we will begin construction on a new section of the Whitefish Trail from the Big Mtn Trailhead in Haskill to Hellroaring Basin. We were awarded two grants to help fund the project - the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is a federally funded FWP grant program that supports trail development and maintenance across Montana, while the Trail Stewardship Program is a state-funded FWP initiative focused on the development, renovation, and upkeep of trails and trailside facilities. Thank you FWP for your grant awards that support new construction to Close the Loop of the Whitefish Trail! Both grants require matching funds and volunteer labor, contact cynthia@whitefishlegacy.org to donate or volunteer this summer.
We also are excited to share that a recent $10,000 grant from Applied Materials will strengthen community connections to our local lands by expanding affordable outdoor education opportunities across the Flathead Valley — both at the new Whitefish Legacy Center and along the Whitefish Trail. Thank you Applied Materials!

That's usually a sign something was worth reading.

That kind of intellectual honesty makes the content more credible and trustworthy. I've shared it with my team and the response was positive. Really well done.
