Fall Watershed Tour in the Sun River

Each biennium, MWCC works with local conservation partners to host a Fall Watershed Tour where participants gather, share, and learn. This year, we are partnering with the Sun River Watershed Group as they celebrate 30 years of restoring and protecting the Sun River watershed and its communities. We will travel from Great Falls toward the headwaters in the Bob Marshall Wilderness for three days of learning, peer exchanges, local storytelling, and on-the-ground project experiences that demonstrate the unique resources challenges and diverse conservation and partnership strategies implemented by local organizers across the region. With an anticipated audience of 80 attendees from across Montana, the event will allow opportunities for participants to connect and learn from practitioners, coordinators, and technical experts.

MWCC provides critical resources to Montana’s watershed organizations and conservation partners. We do this by connecting, supporting, inspiring, and representing watershed conservation leaders throughout the state. By providing training, events, funding, networking, and awareness, we strengthen watershed conservation efforts to support healthy and productive landscapes in Big Sky country.
