Montanans for Healthy Rivers

Pacific Rivers helped create the Montanans for Healthy Rivers (MHR) campaign in 2009, a coalition of conservation organizations, businesses, and individuals dedicated to preserving Montana’s most intact rivers and streams.The campaign maximizes watershed conservation by coupling public lands protections with private lands conservation incentives.

MONTANANS FOR HEALTHY RIVERS PROPOSES:
  • Protecting more than 700 rivers miles in Montana as Wild and Scenic.
  • Creating and funding incentives for private landowners to keep these rivers healthy and water clean.
  • By working on both private and public lands, we are taking a watershed approach to protecting healthy rivers and clean water in Montana. Help us continue by donating today.

MOST MONTANANS SUPPORT THIS WORK:
  • 86% of Montanans believe healthy rivers are vital to Montana’s economy and way of life,
  • 75% of Montanans support using the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to protect more of the state’s rivers.
  • If successful, the Montanans for Healthy Rivers campaign will be a model for supporting river health and water quality across public and private domains – a watershed approach.

Today, throughout the Snake River Basin, imperiled populations of salmon continue to die at rates far below sustainable replacement levels. Scientists have told us for decades that breaching the four federal dams in the lower Snake River. Congressman Mike Simpson of Idaho has an ambitious proposal to remove the dams and invest billions in energy, irrigation and transportation infrastructure.  But elected leaders in Washington and Oregon must step up too before we lose the fish that define the region’s ecology and cultural heritage. Good work is happening in places like the Lostine, but ultimately, the success of those collaborations depend on restoring a free-flowing Snake River.
