Big Sky Natural Resource Council
In the Spring of 2011 the Big Sky Natural Resource Council decided that the formation of a Big Sky FireSafe Council was a priority for the protection of people, structures, and Big Sky’s vast and precious natural resources. The council is now a recognized member of FireSafe Montana, a statewide organization dedicated to helping landowners and communities become fire safe.
