PCEC worked with community members to oppose a proposed large-scale resort development in the Suce Creek area near the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. PCEC promoted science-based wildlife management, including efforts to reduce wolf hunting pressure near Yellowstone National Park and strengthen bear coexistence practices in Park County and Livingston. PCEC also partnered on Indigenous and community oral history projects to elevate diverse perspectives on land stewardship. Through advocacy, PCEC advanced protections for grizzlies, bison, wolves, pollinators, and other native species. 153962 Create Thriving Communities: PCEC fostered a resilient future for Yellowstones Northern Gateway by advancing smart growth policies, climate -adaptive infrastructure, and community-led solutions that protect land, water, air, and quality of life. The organization supported local efforts to adapt to wildfire, flooding, and other climate-related impacts while promoting strategies to lower greenhouse gas emissions. In 2025, this work contributed to updates to Livingstons downtown and parks master plans, strengthened watershed protections and smart growth provisions in the city zoning code, expanded bicycle infrastructure and trails, the planting of nearly 100 more trees to diversify the urban forest, and the acquisition of electric school buses for local public schools. 101720 Educate Conservation Leaders: PCEC empowered community members to protect the land, water, air, and wildlife of Yellowstones Northern Gateway through education, leadership development, and inclusive civic engagement. The organization engaged youth through school-based programs, paid internships, independent studies, and curriculum development, and provided accessible learning opportunities for broader audiences. In 2025, participating youth served as keynote speakers at national conferences, demonstrating the impact of the program. PCECs strategic plan identified conservation education as a priority for expanded investment, and the organization allocated resources to hire a full-time Director of Educational Programming. These efforts strengthened a diverse and community-driven conservation movement advancing long-term stewardship and resilience. 831557 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X ERICA LIGHTHISER 4062220723 PO BOX 164 Livingston MT 59047 MAX HJORTSBERG Managing Dir 40.00 0.00 X 99349 0 20766 ERICA LIGHTHISER Managing Dir 40.00 0.00 X 96374 0 20766 WENDY RILEY President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SEABRING DAVIS Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LUCINDA REINOLD Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KELLY NILES Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOSEPH DORN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN COCHRAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHILOH HERNANDEZ Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN HEIDKE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 195723 41532 0 false false false 0 21199 1233050 1254249 0 20937 20937 0 0 0 0 15196 6819 8377 8377 0 1227 1227 1227 0 1284790 1227 29314 X 0 0 0 0 195724 152738 7249 35737 0 364440 269530 61715 33195 16032 11850 3895 287 97567 72116 23701 1750 46075 30689 9538 5848 0 0 2940 2386 342 212 0 0 0 239713 194531 27894 17288 73753 54447 39 19267 23144 2216 19500 1428 0 0 11477 8088 2181 1208 14754 11521 1727 1506 0 0 0 0 0 2688 2421 267 FIELDWORK SUPPLIES 23187 21297 402 1488 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 6846 148 5764 934 0 1118340 831557 166368 120415 73545 188488 446536 456761 325588 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1818 0 521899 970837 33021 0 33021 X 521899 339165 598651 521899 937816 521899 970837 166450 249467 X true X false false false X 720081 791440 928157 901882 1254249 4595809 0 0 720081 791440 928157 901882 1254249 4595809 602699 3993110 280 129 16630 12966 20937 50942 8735 16882 9604 35221 0 4681972 0.85290 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false true true false true 7154 false false true 4695 false true 206 12055 false false Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description MEETINGS WITH RESIDENTS, COUNTY COMMISSION MEETINGS AND COMMENTS, RESEARCH AND OUTREACH TO PUBLIC Part IV - Additional Information false YG30K 11798 11798 2419 11798 11798 2419 2419 9379 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Management and the Board review the Form 990 prior to filing.
