WHO WE ARE
The Cabinet Resource Group is a grassroots conservation and wilderness advocacy group that organizes Montanans to protect water quality, air quality, wildlife, forests, and wildlands. We recognize the existential threat climate change poses to our quality of life and the wildlands we enjoy, as such we advocate for the immediate drawdown of fossil fuel production and use.
The Cabinet Resource Group believes in responsible stewardship of public lands for the benefit of future generations.
