Operating as a land trust, the mission of The Vital Ground Foundation is to protect and restore North America’s grizzly bear populations by conserving wildlife habitat.

Vital Ground believes the grizzly bear, as an umbrella species, is one of nature’s barometers of a healthy and complete ecosystem. Because the grizzly’s home range covers several hundred square miles—from alpine meadows to valley bottoms—protecting grizzly habitat benefits entire plant and animal communities in the wildest, most scenic places left on the continent.

By acquiring fee title to and facilitating conservation easements on key parcels of land, Vital Ground has helped protect and enhance nearly 600,000 acres of crucial wildlife habitat in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska, and British Columbia.
