The Greater Gallatin Watershed Council is a nonprofit organization based in the Gallatin Valley, dedicated to promoting conservation and enhancement of local streams and waters.

GGWC brings together sound science and citizen involvement to create a forum for community-based problem solving and action within our area’s home watershed.

Some of GGWC’s projects include Gallatin Stream Teams, a volunteer water quality monitoring program; on-the-ground restoration projects; a Fall Tour of sites and topics throughout the Gallatin Valley; an Annual Meeting focused on the state of the watershed; education for local stakeholder groups and students; and participating in local events such as the Sustainability Fair, Watershed Festival, and Farm Fair.

GGWC’s twelve-member board includes water specialists, local agricultural producers, recreationalists, anglers, local government, natural resource managers, business, and other stakeholders in the watershed. Learn more at www.greatergallatin.org/. •
