Protecting State Parks that Offer Adventure & Solace

Montana is home to 55 State Parks that offer opportunities for adventure right in our own backyard and provided solace and respite during the COVID pandemic. The parks were there for us when we needed them – now it’s our turn to be there for them.

WGM Group is proud to offer environmental services to protect Montana’s natural resources, and capital improvements to ensure they’re here for future generations.

As Montana summer gets underway we're lucky to have 55 Montana State Parks to hike, fish, camp, and spend time together. WGM Group is celebrating Summer 2020 with a work/play tour to learn more about the natural wonders and recreation opportunities in our own state. 

We’ll be posting about the wildlife we encounter, trails we hike, history we learn, and best experiences for families and aspiring photographers. 

Follow along on Facebook to see where we’ve been, and how State Parks can bring adventure closer to home.

Taking stock of how we can help protect our parks and natural resources

Part of our tour of Montana State Parks will be noting how we can use our experience as planners, environmental engineers, and landscape architects to conserve natural resources and improve existing infrastructure. 

We’re looking forward to being onsite in the State Parks and using the trails, fishing access sites, and visitor facilities to understand the full guest experience first-hand. Assessing the wear and tear on the landscape gives our environmental consultants a clear view of how we can protect the native plants, wildflowers, and water resources that create the rich and unique beauty of Big Sky Country. Unlike environmental consulting companies that focus solely on remediation and restoration, we have multi-discipline teams that can do the surveying, planning, engineering, and landscape design required to implement a resource protection plan that protects land and water for the long haul.

As we’re exploring the natural wonders in our state, we’ll also be thinking of cost-effective ways to preserve them for our kids and grandkids.

Supporting the people, programs, and organizations that keep our parks running. 

As we celebrate the State Parks that were there for us when we needed space and solace during COVID-19, we also need to thank the people and programs that provide financial support and hard work to keep them open and accessible. Our gratitude goes to the men and women working on behalf of our State Parks at Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks, and to non-profit organizations like Montana State Parks Foundation that advocate tirelessly for their financial support. Let’s not forget Montana State Parks were there for us, and we need to be there for them as vocal supporters during the upcoming 2021 Montana Legislative Session.
