The Montana Conservation Elders (MCE) is a nonpartisan group whose members share three fundamental attributes: weâre seniors, weâre Montanans, and we have each lived a part of Montanaâs rich conservation history. And we want to share our stories to inspire the next generation of Montana conservation leaders through a variety of education initiatives including the adoption of Montana conservation history in school curriculum.
Like most Montanans we are fiercely independent and are thus not beholden to any one organization. At the same time our individual members have strong ties to Montanaâs leading conservation groups. This allows us to stay relevant to the ever-changing politics of conservation while maintaining a broad, long-range perspective.
