Summary

Nestled between the meandering Yellowstone River the rugged sandstone rimrocks, Billings has a combination of unique climatic, cultural, and ecological characteristics. It is the largest city in Montana, but maintains a friendly small-town feel. Known as Montana’s Trailhead, Billings is the regional hub for commerce, shopping, dining, and attractions. For those wishing to escape the bustle of daily life, the breathtaking landscape provides a quiet solitude and numerous recreational opportunities. The rolling plains, breaks, and rough stony buttes covered in open ponderosa pine forests or savanna are critical habitats for native plant and animal species. As a continued commitment to education, protection, and restoration of the land, Billings registered as a Community Wildlife Habitat in October, 2018.
