The Montana Wilderness Association was founded in 1958 by Montana volunteers and is governed by a state council of citizen volunteers from across the state, elected by the membership. As a community-based organization, it works at the local level through seven chapters and field offices in Bozeman, Choteau, Dillon, Great Falls, Helena and Kalispell. Each chapter is governed by a local board of directors.
