Serving the Bitterroot, Blackfoot, upper Clark Fork, lower Clark Fork, and the Mission-Jocko valleys, Five Valleys Land Trust (FVLT) make it their mission to protect western Montana’s natural legacy – it’s river corridors, wildlife habitat, agricultural lands, and community open spaces – for future generations.
FVLT contracted GCS in the Spring of 2022 to update their Conservation Initiative. The project required the creation of a data layer demonstrating an analysis of the 2010 – 2020 Census population growth and density, including open space access opportunity density to show the most pressure and need on accessible open spaces across their ten-county service area.
Additionally, GCS developed another layer which represents walk time to these open space access points.
