The Big Hole Watershed Committee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to conservation of the Big Hole River watershed and its resources. Our diverse stakeholders find consensus to foster sustainability through education, management, and restoration of our Big Hole River Valley. BHWC was formed in 1995 to address community concerns related to water supply and Arctic grayling; we published the State's first voluntary Drought Management Plan in 1997.
Our river flows free for its entire 156 miles, surrounded by high, craggy Rocky Mountain peaks of the Continental Divide. It’s a stronghold of traditional cattle ranching, rural communities, and expansive public lands. Montana is wild and remote here. Nearly 2,000 residents call the Big Hole valley home, spread among its 2 million acres.
We created this channel to share some of our breathtaking scenery, innovative restoration techniques, and fun community events with you. For more information, visit our website: bhwc.org.
