Learn about GWC’s activities and accomplishments in 2020.

The Gallatin Watershed Council’s 2021 Annual Meeting took place in late January and left us with warm hearts and appreciation for our watershed community. In lieu of the in-person gathering and connection that would typically take place, the community came together virtually.

We are happy to announce that the Western Cafe has been selected as the 2020 Super Business Steward of the Year!

GWC was recently granted $30,000 from the Bridger Foothills Fire Relief Fund to assist landowners in implementing postfire resource conservation best management practices. These funds will go a long way in rehabilitating areas that are most susceptible to erosion, sediment loading and weed infestation, however, requests for post-fire rehabilitation from landowners are more than three times the funding that is available.

As the year begins to come to a close, we're reflecting on the resilience we've witnessed throughout our community. The last eight months have allowed us the time and space to consider what is truly important. Here at GWC, cold, clean, abundant water continues to rise to the top of the "truly important" list. Whether for drinking, for irrigating local food, for recreating, or simply for providing solace from a crazy world, our rivers and streams continue to provide for us.
