A 501(c)3 non-profit supporting the repair and maintenance of Crystal Mountain Road in the rural unincorporated community of Clarkson / Ponderosa Pines, Greater Three Forks area, Gallatin County, Montana.
CMR Project was formed to organize and fundraise for the maintenance and improvement of Crystal Mountain Road from Clarkston Road to the gate on the north end. Work will be undertaken by volunteers, but the CMR Project homes to be able to supply materials for road maintenance and reimburse fuel and operation costs for the equipment.
Over time, Crystal Mountain Road has seen substantially increased traffic, so the CMR Project intends to be a clearinghouse of information on proposed road work and scheduling in order to be less disruptive to residents. It is also a focal point for donations to support road maintenance.
Crystal Mountain Road is considered a road easement to all the properties it crosses. It is the responsibility of the easement holders — the residents of Crystal Mountain Road — to repair, maintain and improve these road easements.
CMR Project aims to help coordinate and fundraise to make it easier for all the easement holders to fulfill their obligation for road upkeep. Many residents do not have access to the equipment necessary to repair and maintain their section of the road. Most residents also do not have time or extra funds to spare. Yet we all have the responsibility to keep the road useable, so the CMR Project works to organize the contributions of the community to provide upkeep for our road.
CMR Project is made up of neighbors helping neighbors. Through the generous donations of funds, the sharing of personally owned equipment, the time of our dedicated volunteers, we work hard to help keep Crystal Mountain Road passable.
All of our donations go towards the purchasing of gravel and surfacing materials, as well as reimbursement to our volunteers for gas and equipment maintenance. CMR Project is operated completely by volunteers who meet monthly to plan and facilitate essential road maintenance. We are always seeking donors and volunteers to assist with road work and administrative work. If you have a few free hours a month, please consider helping out your neighbors and joining our team.
