"The citizens of the community own the river itself. It is a public highway. Nobody owns the Big Wood River, we all do."
Who we are.
In recent years the native trout population has seen a decline in size and numbers—a bellwether for the health of the river.
Our mission is to revitalize the Big Wood River—restoring the heart of our valley as a sustainable ecosystem and thriving fishery.
​
Our core focus:
-
Data collection for water quality and river health
-
Community education and advocacy
-
Watershed restoration
-
Activating local pride
​
It’s our home water. Time to mend it.
Help us make a difference.
We can't do it alone.
We’ve chosen a collaborative approach in developing and prioritizing programs, projects, action plans, and coordinated restoration work.
​
We believe working with partners and the community will best support basin-wide strategies to mend this incredible resource we all share.
