The Jefferson River Watershed Council (JRWC) was created in 1999. The JRWC is a Montana based 501-C (3) nonprofit organization which includes all interests that may be affected by water-use and natural resource management in the watershed. The council seeks to develop practical solutions to difficult problems which impact the Jefferson River.
Thus, local landowners, irrigators, ranchers, outfitters, businesses, sporting/recreation, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies contribute to creation and continued success of the council.
The organizational structure includes a board of directors, an overall watershed council made up of the above organizations and business sectors, and various committees on an as needed basis.
Mission Statement
Jefferson River Watershed Council coordinates efforts through a spirit of community, cooperation and sharing that will enhance, conserve, and protect the natural resources, quality of life, and economic vitality of the Jefferson River watershed.
