What we do

Stream Restoration

Our strategic, on-the-ground restoration projects and innovative water conservation methods help heal the headwaters of the Clark Fork River and its tributaries.

How we do it

The Coalition’s restoration team works with partners and landowners on projects to improve stream health. Together, we reconnect waterways and floodplains, fix incised banks caused by human interference, rebuild stream habitat complexity, filter sediment, and cool stream temperatures. Through a mix of stream bank design, riparian planting, beaver dam analogs and log jams, and by rehabilitating unused, eroding forest roads, we improve water quality and ecological functions.

A clean and healthy Clark Fork isn't possible without you.

If you’ve floated, fished, or just visited the awesome rivers and beautiful creeks of the Clark Fork watershed, you know how much they add to our lives. Did you ever wonder how you could give something back? The Clark Fork still suffers in many places from pollution and lack of water and is now facing new threats from climate change. The good news is, because people stepped up to help, this river is on the mend. All it needs now is you.
