Since 1995, Prickly Pear Land Trust has built more than 80 miles of trails in Helena’s South Hills, and we’re just getting started. We protected and donated thousands of acres to Mount Ascension Park and Mount Helena City Park. And with community support, we’ve created three new parks – Tenmile Creek, Grove, and Prickly Pear Park.
Prickly Pear Land Trust recognizes that the lands we conserve are the traditional and contemporary territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfeet), the Sélish (Salish), the Ktunaxa (Kootenai), the Métis (Little Shell Chippewa), the Apsáalooke (Crow), and the Shoshone-Bannock peoples. The Indigenous Nations who continue their connections with this ground, these waters, and all creatures have always and will always be the original stewards of the land.
