In 2024 our friends at @smithandrogue came to us with the idea of making a film to tell the story of our work in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. We were jazzed about the idea, but knew the hoops that would need to be jumped through. Luckily, their team was on board to work through the proper permitting and logistics with the Forest Service, and we're so happy that, after a year of planning, we were able to make it happen this summer! They tagged along with our volunteer crew up Silver King Mountain #420 on the Rocky Mountain Front, and did a beautiful job capturing the power of connecting people with active wilderness stewardship. The film is available to watch now. Find it at the link in their bio: @smithandrogue #lovethebob #bobmarshallwilderness
We’re still basking in the post-BobFest glow ✨ One special moment from the evening was the story of the stunning elk shed found by volunteers on our @freedombankmt partner trip this summer. It’s one of those experiences that make the Bob so special, or, as Brian said – “It doesn’t get any more Montana than this!” Huge thanks to Brian and Blayne and the whole Freedom Bank team for generously sharing this gift from the wilderness with us – and congratulations on placing the winning bid to bring it home! #lovethebob

We had a stellar board and staff retreat this past weekend at Cane Ridge West in Lincoln, MT. We dove into the work of updating our 3-year Strategic Plan, aligning our values and vision for the future of BMWF, and left feeling more connected and inspired by the impact of our mission. We want to give a rousing THANK YOU to this talented, insightful Board of Directors who volunteer to help guide the foundation. The value of their time and collective skills and knowledge is immeasurable, and all of us who love the Bob benefit from their leadership. And, big thanks to all of you who took the time to fill out our 2025 Donor/Support Survey! Your input was so valuable as we evaluated our current programs and future plans. If you didn’t get a chance, we’ve left the survey up at bmwf.org/contact-us in case you’d like to make your voice heard. #lovethebob #bobmarshallwilderness #bobmarshallwildernesscomplex

Last week we were lucky enough to spend a stunning four days in the Great Bear Wilderness for our annual staff retreat. We spent the week digesting the field season, dreaming for next summer, and getting some work done around Spruce Park cabin. Since we're spread between the Flathead and Missoula, it's a treat when all seven of our year-round staff can be in the same place – and even more special when that place is in the Bob. Throughout the week, one common theme was reflecting on how uncertain our year began, and how grateful we are to this community – all of YOU!!! – for rallying to help us pull off another successful field season giving back to this beautiful place. Thank you for helping keep our work as meaningful and impactful as ever, for the good of the Bob. #lovethebob #bobmarshallwildernesscomplex #greatbearwilderness #bobmarshallwilderness
