Hundreds of signs were given out at community meetings, thousands of bumper stickers have been sent out across the state, hundreds of large banners are hanging at residences and businesses, flyers are plastered on countless bulletin boards, hundreds of yard signs are displayed, six billboards are up across Montana, information is continuing to be shared at various community events, and over 6,500 public comments were sent to USFS, with 99 percent opposed to a giant lodge expansion.


We branched out into other public social media platforms, created a website, and connected with a core group of individuals dedicated to protecting Holland Lake. Within a week of the initial expansion plan being released, I connected with a fellow Montana born-and-raised mother through social media, and we decided to do whatever we could to save Holland Lake.Ī private Facebook group we started to give the local community a voice, named Hands Off Holland, now has over 3,700 members and is continuing to grow every day. Seeing this movement grow from its conception has been truly astounding. I’ve had the honor of watching firsthand as people from all backgrounds and political beliefs set aside their differences to join forces and work together for the best interests of Holland Lake.
