Northern Plains has affiliate organizations in ten communities across Montana, from Helena to Glendive and Gardiner to Circle. These vibrant, active community groups work to make Montana an even better place to live, work and raise a family at the local level.

Northern Plains affiliates tackle important issues, from reclaiming abandoned hard rock mines, ensuring that coal bed methane extraction companies do it right, to connecting local producers and consumers to promote local, healthy food systems.
