Celebrating a High Water Mark: A Montana Stream Access Law Symposium

Please join us on Friday, March 16, at the Blewett School of Law for a special gathering “Celebrating a High Water Mark: A Montana Stream Access Law Symposium.” The event commemorates Montana’s extraordinary stream access case law and legislation.

Next, a roundtable of the drafters and stakeholders who crafted the original Stream Access Bill will discuss the key lessons to their success. Later panels will cover legal ethics, subsequent developments in the law, and issues on the horizon such as climate change, tribal rights and instream flow.
