WHAT WE DO

WHY WE EXIST

Big Sky SNO was established when a small group seeking to achieve real sustainability measures realized that change required collective support from the community. Over several months of conversations, and outreach with key stakeholders, we identified essential sustainability needs and priorities.

Today a board of directors and expert committees of over 40 members lead the organization, focusing on specific areas outlined in the CAP and exploring ways to create a resilient community.
