Preserve Land Works: Centennial Valley Environmental Review

The 370,000 acre Centennial Valley in southwestern Montana has been heralded as a hot spot for biodiversity and a top conservation priority in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The International Center for Earth Concerns has developed a environmental research and education facility adjacent to the headquarters of the 45,000 acre Red Rock Lakes Wildlife Refuge in the heart of the valley. Over the summer of 2007, Preserve Land Works was contracted to compile and review all available environmental information in order to provide the best possible information to move the program forward. Field assessments and expert interviews were conducted to enhance the quality of the information.

Our Philosophy

Conservation Science, Ecological Forestry, and Environmental Education services offered by a group that is truly passionate about this Earth and its wise stewardship. Our approach to this work is nothing new, but it is vastly underappreciated in the wider realm of business and land management. Today, our vision is founded in the vision of one of conservation's fathers, who began his career 100 years ago:

"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the community. The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants and animals, or collectively; the land." ~ Aldo Leopold, 1949
