“At onX, we believe access to the outdoors is essential for individual well-being and community vitality. While Montana is home to vast public lands, not every community benefits from easy access to recreation. The onX Emerging Outdoor Community Award celebrates local organizations that are breaking down barriers and expanding outdoor access in meaningful, community-driven ways. We aim to spotlight and support leaders who are building new access to the outdoors, fostering local pride, and creating the foundation for future recreation economies.”
