Join us for our first River News & Brews of 2026: Smurfit, Sheep Creek, Superfund & More! on Tuesday, February 24 from 6:00-7:30PM at the Confluence Center’s Headwaters Room in downtown Missoula: a casual, community-powered check-in on what’s happening in the Clark Fork watershed as we head into a new year. We’ll ask you to share your big questions and concerns, and CFC staff will provide updates on policy roll out, emerging threats, and steps you can take to help shape our rivers and streams in 2026 including Smurfit, the Sheep Creek mining proposal, exempt wells, and nutrient standards.

The Clark Fork Coalition’s Water Watchdogs Program offers concerned watershed citizens a chance to actively shape Montana’s water decisions. Whether you’re new to advocacy or an experienced activist, this program equips you with the tools and knowledge to protect our watersheds and promote positive change.

Come grab a brew, connect with fellow river advocates, and lend you voice to this critical organizing check-in for the Clark Fork watershed.

There is no cost to attend, but seating is limited—reserve yours by RSVPing today!
