Advancing local connection & Conservation
The Bitterroot Water Partnership understands that our waterways and water needs are dynamic and diverse, so our approach to clean and abundant waters must be, too. That’s why we work with partners throughout the Valley to produce thoughtful and trusted solutions for clean and abundant water, healthy habitats, and empowered watershed stewards.
Our River Ambassadors play an integral role in these efforts. They help us foster new connections, generate innovative ideas and approaches in our conservation work, and empower other watershed stewards.
The Bitterroot River is an unwavering representation of the state of water in the Bitterroot as well as the ways in which water connects us all. A cool, flowing, and well-enjoyed river indicates abundant water, healthy habitats, and happy people. Our river is nourished and dependent on connections with countless tributary streams, irrigation ditches, groundwater flows, wetlands, and springs, and the intentional stewardship distributed across these diverse components of the network is what makes the system bountiful and resilient.
Our River Ambassadors represent and carry out these same River principles in their ability to bring friends and strangers together to advance local water conservation.
