Our Mission
Yellowstone Bend Citizens Council members recognize that healthy communities depend on healthy ecosystems. We believe
our quality of life and rich natural heritage can be preserved by promoting reliance on renewable energy and
minimizing adverse effects from further development of fossil fuels. We hold ourselves and our government accountable
to leave vibrant and healthy natural surroundings for the generations that will follow.
Northern Plains Resource Council - our umbrella organization
"NPRC is working toward a future where we IIve in harmony with nature, where our economy serves the people
rather than the people serving the economy. We believe in promoting healthy, localized
and sustainable economies in our rural communities, towns and cities."
