Yellowstone River Restoration

The Yellowstone River is one of Park County’s primary natural amenities, supporting our quality of life and our local economy. Montana Freshwater Partners works to restore, enhance, and protect the Yellowstone River and other waterways through science-based solutions.

With the funding received, Montana Freshwater Partners is implementing high-priority, on-the-ground conservation and restoration projects for the Yellowstone River, including initiatives bolstering flood and drought resilience by enhancing water quality, preserving fish habitats, ensuring consistent late-season flows, and promoting floodplain connectivity. Ultimately, these efforts will fortify the watershed’s resilience against the myriad of pressures it faces.
