Clark Fork Watershed Stories
Check out the latest Watershed Stories, highlighting local conservationists in the Upper Clark Fork Watershed. From Warm Springs Creek to the Little Blackfoot River, Montana’s Natural Resource Damage Program supports restoration efforts throughout the Upper Clark Fork, working in tandem with watershed partners, including the Clark Fork Watershed Education Program, Trout Unlimited, and the Watershed Restoration Coalition. Together, these partners bring people together to restore and protect the lands and waters that nourish Upper Clark Fork communities from Butte to Missoula.
Video Shows Off Hard Work in the Gallatin
Check out this video highlighting the Gallatin Watershed Council. GWC is bringing landowners, volunteers, and other community members together to improve water quality throughout their watershed. The video features great shots of the Gallatin Valley and the people who make GWC's work possible. A big thanks to videographer Jon Catton for putting it together.
