Volunteer With Us
Community members are at the heart of everything we do at the Gallatin Watershed Council.
Each year, hundreds of people like you roll up their sleeves to care for Gallatin Valley’s rivers through hands-on stewardship and civic engagement. From riverbanks to breweries to city hall, there’s a place for you in our work. Help us make long-lasting ecological change, while making friends and learning new skills. Caring for our watershed takes all kinds. We couldn’t do it without you!
We hope you can come together with us, to care for our local watershed.

Gallatin Stream Teams
Help us monitor water in the Gallatin Valley
Gallatin Stream Teams is a volunteer stream monitoring program operated in partnership between the Gallatin Local Water Quality District and the Gallatin Watershed Council. Since 2008, citizen scientists have tested water quality on streams across the Lower Gallatin watershed to assess the health of the watershed.
Don’t forget to sign the volunteer waiver before you join us in the field.
We hope to see you outdoors soon!
“As the world becomes busier in the technological era, people are searching for ways to connect to the land.
What better way to connect to the land than by taking an active role in maintaining the places we love?”
