Board of Directors
 | John Ormiston, President"Open, healthy land capable of sustaining wildlife populations and people is the most important legacy we can leave future generations of Montanans." |
 | Tori Nobles, Vice President"Being a part of the Bitter Root Land Trust is my way of honoring my father and grandfather's lives spent in this valley we all love." |
 | Jim Blackburn"I joined the Bitter Root Land Trust because I believe private landowners should have access to conservation options regarding the future of their land." |
 | Gail Goheen"I joined the Board of the Bitterroot Land Trust 14 years ago at the time of its founding, and have continued to enthusiastically support it ever since. My main reason for being involved with the Land Trust is that it offers members of this community an opportunity to come together to preserve the best of the Bitterroot – its beauty, open space, wildlife habitat, and heritage. That’s the heart of why we all live here and love it so much." |
 | Doug Nation"I joined the Bitter Root Land Trust Board, and work for the organization's success, because I believe it is critically important to preserve our water quality, wildlife habitat, and agricultural heritage for current and future generations." |
 | Tonia Bloom"I came to the Bitterroot in 1972 and have witnessed many changes in the intervening years, but continue to be sustained by the beauty of the remaining agricultural landscapes and intact ecosystems. I’ve always believed each of us owes it to those who will come after us to try to leave the world and our community as good as – or even a little better – than we found them. The work of the Bitter Root Land Trust is one way to do that. It is an honor and privilege to serve on the board of this organization. " |
 | Karen Talbot"The Bitterroot Valley is a rare place where people can know their neighbors, ride their bikes on country roads, hike on canyon trails, ride horses through piney forests, farm crops in rich soils, ski on uncrowded slopes, enjoy the proximity of vast herds of elk and deer, have great horned owls perch in a nearby tree, and raise children in a safe environment. I became involved with the BRLT in order to give back to our children and grandchildren what my husband found when we moved here six years ago." |
 | Peggy Ratcheson"I am pleased to serve on the Bitter Root Land Trust Board as it provides a special opportunity to help preserve the natural beauty, rural nature, open space, clean water, and important wildlife habitat of the Bitterroot through private land conservation. I've loved and appreciated these Montana benefits since childhood and want to ensure they are maintained for future generations to enjoy. |
 | Ron Skinner"I joined because I believe in maintaining the ranching heritage of this Valley and would like to see options for families who want to continue to work the land. Preserving the integrity of our western landscape and the treaured way of life it offers will be as important to our future as it was to our past." |
