About the Task Force

OUR VISION

A healthy Gallatin River Watershed for future generations

OUR MISSION

To partner with our greater community to lead conservation and inspire stewardship of the Gallatin River Watershed

OUR APPROACH

The Task Force utilizes the Watershed Approach to resource conservation. In general, the Watershed Approach is tied to a distinct land area or hydrologic boundary, ensures broad stakeholder involvement and inclusivity, is community-based and community-driven, relies on local leadership, encourages collaboration with partners, strives for consensus, and avoids litigation as a conservation strategy.
