OUR MISSION
To educate and advocate for the protection of remaining wild lands and wildlife habitat using small aircraft. The aerial perspective and our educational programs encourage an environmental stewardship ethic among citizens of all ages.
EcoFlight’s call to action is to work with all sides of an issue, the plane providing a platform for conversation to happen in order to find solutions. The aerial perspective and our ability to connect people can be used to help build bridges between current conflicting viewpoints, and a way to help Americans find common ground, bringing tribes, partisan alliances, and faith-based groups together

EcoFlight flew over these dams to provide the aerial perspective to stakeholders that are working tirelessly to ensure that the dams are finally removed.

Lolo & Bitterroot National Forest Service Plan Revisions
The U.S. Forest Service manages these Montana forests under outdated and insufficient models. The current land-use plans don't take into account the rising population in the surrounding area or the increase in knowledge of wildlife migration patterns. Faced with heightened challenges due to climate change and the growing presence of invasive species; as well as the sky-rocketing recreational demand, the Lolo and Bitterroot National Forests are in dire need of updated land-use plans. -
Colorado Beaver Summit
The native grasslands in the surrounding area have largely disappeared due to farming. The May Valley Farm is committed to protecting the ecosystem and animals in this region, going as far as placing a conservation easement over their land to ensure long-term protection. The streams that meander across their landscape provide for various aquatic and riparian species. The Great Plains previously housed abundant beaver populations, and currently Sand Creek is one of the few places in the region where beavers can be spotted. Beavers are keystone species; meaning they contribute to habitat in a way that maintains the health and populations of other species in the ecosystem. This farm provides critical services that maintain the biodiversity of the region.
