Welcome to Prickly Pear Land Trust
Prickly Pear Land Trust is an association of community-minded individuals committed to protecting the open space in Lewis and Clark, Broadwater and Jefferson Counties in Montana. Founded in 1996, the Trust now has almost 700 active members with backgrounds reflecting the diversity of the area. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, we work cooperatively with willing property owners to conserve our region’s most valuable natural asset…land.
“We knew from the very beginning of our love affair with this land that we’d want to preserve it. Obtaining a conservation easement with Prickly Pear Land Trust ensured that generations from now this piece of paradise will exist in as pristine a state as when we discovered it.”
— Leonard Schonberg and Anne O’Leary
Help Build the Centennial Trail
The Friends of Centennial Trail are selling brick pavers as a fundraiser for the Centennial Trail. Download an order form and donate one or more bricks to help build the trail. Bricks may be inscribed with your name, the name of a business or organization, or the name of someone you wish to honor. Again, proceeds will be used to complete Helena’s Centennial Trail.
These personalized brick pavers will be placed at the site of a meeting spot along the trail, located in Centennial Park. This meeting spot for cyclists and walkers will feature a place to sit, get a drink of water, and will feature a kiosk with maps of the trail, announcements, and so forth. Thanks for your help. Through buying a personalized brick paver, you are not only leaving your mark along the trail, you are helping us all get it built.
