About the Montana Engagement Partnership
The Montana Engagement Partnership (MEP) is a collaborative project jointly managed by Greater Yellowstone Coalition (GYC), Montana Conservation Voters (MCV), Montana Wilderness Association (MWA), and Montana Wildlife Federation (MWF).

MEP seeks to build broad popular support for a proactive conservation agenda by engaging with, learning from, and activating Montanans to take part in the democratic process to ensure that public lands and a clean energy economy play a vital role in Montana's future.
