Our Vision: The Swan Valley in 50 years
The Swan Valley is rural and wild. It is a rich environment where people and a natural diversity of native plant and animal species thrive. People learn and work together to ensure that the ecosystem’s resources are protected, responsibly used and available for all future generations.

Swan Ecosystem Center
Swan Ecosystem Center (SEC) is a nonprofit community group in the Swan Valley of northwestern Montana. People with diverse perspectives learn about the watershed and are involved in land management on public and private land. SEC helps people work together to sustain the valley's natural resources and rural and wild characteristics.

Our Mission
We, citizens of Swan Valley, Montana, have a self-imposed sense of responsibility to maintain a strong, vital community involved in setting its own destiny through partnerships that encourage sustainable use and care of public and private lands.
