How the Montana year breaks down
Counted, not claimed
Something in the Montana list is in bloom from March through November, and June is the peak — 26 of the 49 species are flowering then.
11 of them are caterpillar host plants and 9 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in Montana yards.
Across the twelve Montana month pages the reference side draws on 6 wildflowers, 6 trees, 6 butterflies and 7 things coming into season locally.

The set, or the pieces
Both are honest ways to buy the Montana editions
| One at a time | Montana Nature Year 2027 + Journal | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Whichever single Montana edition you pick | Both, together |
| Checkouts | One for each — there is no cart here | One, for the whole Montana set |
| What it costs | $48.00 for the two apart | $42.00, saving $6.00 |
| The weekly note | Included with the Montana Nature Year | Included here too — it comes with the year |
| If you only want one | Buy it on its own; every Montana edition is sold separately | The set is only worth it if all of it is new to you |
Before you buy
Who this is for
Made for
- Someone who wants the whole Montana year and somewhere to record it
- Anyone buying the Montana Nature Year who would have come back for the journal anyway
- Households where more than one person in Montana goes outside
Not for
- Anyone who only wants to read Montana month by month — the free Montana pages already do that
- Anyone who does not print; most of what is here is made for paper
Everything here describes typical timing across Montana, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Montana pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.
Questions
Before you decide
What exactly is in the Montana set?
Montana Nature Year 2027 and The Montana Nature Journal — every file each of them contains.
What if I already own one of these Montana editions?
Then buy the others on their own — the Montana set only saves money if all of it is new to you, and we would rather say so than take $42.00 for a file you already have.
Is this cheaper than buying the Montana editions one at a time?
Yes — $42.00 rather than $48.00, a saving of $6.00. There is no cart here, so buying them apart also means checking out 2 separate times.
Do the Montana files arrive together?
They arrive as one download list on one page — 12 files in all for Montana, each downloadable on its own, and the link re-opens for 72 hours.
How accurate is the timing for Montana?
It describes typical timing across Montana drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Montana dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".
Is it worth paying when the Montana pages here are free?
The free Montana pages are the month you are in; these are the Montana editions around them — planned before the year arrives, and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.
Will it work for my part of Montana, or just the big cities?
It is written at state resolution — Montana as a whole, with regional notes where Montana genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.
What format is the Montana edition, and can I print it?
A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Montana pages are made to be carried outside.
What if the Montana set is not what I expected?
Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Montana edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.
Everything in this set is also sold on its own — Montana Nature Year 2027 and The Montana Nature Journal — and the free Montana pages cover this month either way.
