Gilly is Built for Montana’s Conservation Districts

Conservation Districts are essential to protecting Montana’s land and water. Gilly was built to support that mission by simplifying every step of the permitting process.

Simple tools. Straightforward process.
No complex software—just an easier way to get the work done.

Review, approve, and track applications confidently in a system designed to save time, improve accuracy, and reduce paperwork.

With Gilly, CD’s can focus less on administration and more on what matters most: supporting landowners, managing resources, and strengthening the health of Montana’s watersheds.
