Mission, Vision, and History
Our Mission
The Gallatin Watershed Council guides collaborative watershed stewardship in the Gallatin Valley for a healthy and productive landscape.
We support the sustainability and health of the Lower Gallatin Watershed through collaborative partnerships, community education, restoration efforts, and individual empowerment.
Our Vision
All our work has one purpose: serving an engaged community, whose daily actions are motivated by understanding and caring for the Gallatin Watershed.
Our vision is unified stewardship of the Lower Gallatin Watershed to support rich ecosystems, bountiful fields, and vibrant communities.
History
Established in 2004, Gallatin Watershed Council began as an informal group of agency professionals, Montana State University professors and scientists, environmental consultants, landowners, and agricultural producers.
From its outset, GWC has served as a forum for communication and coordination of activities in the watershed. Today, our work in the watershed community is based on consensus-building and finding common ground around natural resource concerns.
