Montana Mountain Goat Restoration

Western Montana Sympatric Moose and Elk Study

How much have we funded?
Since 1999 the Five Valleys Chapter of SCI has funded over $120,000 in local and regional conservation and education projects.

You can contribute to this effort by placing a donation - small or large - today. Simply download the general donation form and fax or mail it to the address shown. You can also donate to our annual banquet by downloading the banquet donation forms. 100% of profits go back to fund more conservation, education and humanitarian efforts.

A 501(c)4 organization, the Five Valleys Chapter of SCI funds numerous conservation efforts throughout the year. These efforts are made possible through the generous support of our members and interested businesses and organizations. While individuals and companies are often approached regarding a donation during our Annual Banquet planning, donations are accepted at any time of the year by downloading and completing our general donation form. 100% of our income is used by SCI with over 70% staying here locally (click here for a listing of projects undertaken by the Five Valleys Chapter in the last decade).

What are we doing today? One of our efforts in 2009 is assisting with the transplating of goats into the Cube Iron/Mount Silcox-Mount Headley area north of Thompson Falls. This will be an augmentation of a historic goat herd (current population 20-25 animals) with the goats coming from the Crazy Mountains of HD 313. Approximately 15-20 goats will be transplanted with 3 to 4 being fitted with radio collars.

While it is the number one priority with the Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks Department, they only have enough money to cover transportation. At an estimated cost of $1,000 per goat, the costs will be high. Partnering with the Great Falls Chapter of SCI along with Flathead Wildlife and the Fish Wildlife & Parks Foundation we can complete this project.
