The Fall 2025 Big Hole Watershed Committee Newsletter tells the story of a challenging year—and the determined, collaborative response needed to meet it.
As drought conditions persist and conservation funding grows more uncertain, BHWC has focused on what matters most: delivering real restoration projects, expanding local capacity, and working side by side with landowners, agencies, and community members to protect the Big Hole River and the livelihoods it supports.
In this issue, you’ll read about:
-
Expanded hydrology monitoring and new data helping guide smarter water decisions
-
Large-scale restoration projects improving fish habitat, wetlands, and riparian areas
-
Innovative drought resilience strategies, including high-meadow and off-stream water storage
-
The people behind the work—from longtime leaders to new staff and field crews
This newsletter makes one thing clear: your support fuels action. Donations to BHWC help fill critical gaps that grants can’t cover—boots-on-the-ground labor, match funding, and timely project implementation when the river needs it most.
By reading, sharing, and supporting BHWC, you are investing in healthy water, working lands, wildlife habitat, and the future of the Big Hole Valley.
