Program areas at Clark Fork Coalition

Upper Clark Fork (ucf) & bitterroot initiatives: in the ucf the Coalition is working to bring about a world-class cleanup and restoration by participating in research, public processes, and tracking of superfund cleanup, and through stream restoration projects, education programs, and by advancing policy and other tools to boost healing and resilience in the ucf basin. In the bitterroot the Coalition is boosting the health of this subbasin by increasing flows, reducing sediment, and restoring fish passage in high-priority tributaries.
Middle Clark Fork: in the middle Clark Fork the Coalition is fostering and advocating for a water ethic that makes cleanup, restoration, and protection of community waterways a central goal in the face of lingering contamination, rapid growth, and landscape change. The Coalition is focused on three campaigns in this region: cleanjup of the shuttered smurfit-stone pulp mill site, restoration of lower grant creek, and river-smart planning for the urban river corridor in missoula. At smurfit, the Coalition is advocating for timely and scientifically sound cleanup of hazardous waste dumps, removal of crumbling berms, and restoration of the floodplain. At grant creek, the Coalition is implementing a community-driven vision for restoring the creek in advance of development planned for the area. On the urban river corridor, cfc is promoting river-smart planning and watershed literacy through dynamic education and outreach programs and through promoting planning principles that make protection of waterways a central goal.
Watershed wide and program support initiatives:through its watershed wide work the Coalition protects clean water by defending water protection laws, preventing new contamination, and improving water management policies and practices. It also focuses on flow restoration, management of water rights and leases, river cleanups, water quality monitoring, beaver-related projects, and public education and updates on river-related issues.
