Almost a century ago, on May 16, 1936, hunters and anglers from across Montana gathered at the Placer Hotel in Helena to unite dozens of local rod and gun clubs around a shared mission: protecting wildlife, habitat, and our outdoor way of life. Ninety years later, that same spirit still drives the Montana Wildlife Federation—and your support is part of that legacy.
Ninety years to the day after hunters and anglers first came together to form this Federation, we’ll meet again—this time in Lewistown—to honor our roots, celebrate the conservation legacy we’ve built, and carry that work into the next ninety years.
The Board and staff of Montana Wildlife Federation invite you to join us for our 90th Annual Meeting on Saturday, May 16, 9:00 a.m. at the American Prairie National Discovery Center in Lewistown. We’ll be featuring some of MWF’s 2026 Conservation Award winners, offering door prizes, and providing lunch for registered attendees.
Later, join us for our Storytelling Celebration beginning at 5:00 p.m. at The Depot Room. Drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and inspiring stories from some of Montana’s conservation greats will be shared.

Help us launch another ninety years of fighting for Montana’s wildlife, habitat, access, and hunting and fishing heritage. Your presence will make a huge difference; we’d love to see you in Lewistown.
