Conservationist Heidi Barrett has three decades of experience working with nonprofits in and around Park County, Montana. She began her nonprofit career as the sole employee of a small grassroots organization, the Beartooth Alliance, in Silver Gate, Montana, on the edge of Yellowstone National Park in the early '90s. The group was formed to stop an industrial-sized gold mine near Yellowstone's northeast corner. Heidi then worked for the Greater Yellowstone Coalition's development department for nearly 18 years. She directed the Park County Senior Center for almost two years before joining the team at ASPEN, an organization in Livingston devoted to abuse support and prevention. Barrett also is a leader with the volunteer nonprofit organization, Friends of Park County.
