Founded in 1985, we are dedicated to protecting and restoring the Clark Fork River basin, a 22,000-square-mile area draining western Montana and northern Idaho. | Removing Threats, Restoring Rivers: Mike Horse mine tailings dam - a half-million tons of toxic waste at the headwaters of the Blackfoot River - is coming out! The Coalition thanks the USFS, and the State of Montana, and the 8,000 community members who publically commented. | | Streamside Protections: Several western Montana counties are working to protect valuable riparian areas and riverside property from too-close development. Click here to learn more about stream setbacks. |
| Ranchlands and Rivers: In 2005, the Coalition bought a cattle ranch in the heart of the upper Clark Fork Superfund site to model top-notch cleanup of mining waste, and to explore how to unite conservation and ranching practices. | | Building Community: More than 500 folks gathered on April 19th to celebrate and clean the Clark Fork River in downtown Missoula. The 5th Annual River Cleanup was a huge success, clearing tons of trash and connecting people to their hometown river. |
