Deep authenticity:  Montanans’ connections to the outdoors and a fiercely defended conservation ethic.  Most people who call themselves Montanans value the land, wildlife, habitat, and public access; integral to appreciating and protecting these extraordinary wonders.

The Montana Outdoor Hall of Fame was created by the Montana Outdoor Legacy Foundation to honor individuals, both living and posthumous, who made significant and lasting contributions to the restoration and conservation of Montana’s wildlife and wild places.  The focus of the awards is not only to recognize Montana’s historical and contemporary conservation leaders, but also to capture the stories of these individuals in an effort to contribute to public awareness and education.

According to the Montana Outdoor Legacy Foundation, the people recognized are but a small sample of the legions of worthy and deserving Montanans, and  the diversity of the inductees is also worth acknowledging. From artists to agency personnel, from politicians to grassroots activists, from pioneers to present day leaders, the stories of these inductees speak to an ever-evolving conservation ethic that is uniquely Montanan.

Here are a few links to the Montana Outdoor Legacy Foundation and the 2014 and 2016 inductees to the Outdoor Hall of Fame.  Enjoy reading about the amazing people who have contributed so much to the Montana we know and love today.
