Clark Fork Coalition

The Clark Fork Coalition exists to ensure the people, fish, and wildlife of the Clark Fork basin have clean water and healthy rivers. It’s a simple as that. Without those basics, fish and wildlife cannot thrive, our communities cannot be sustained, and our businesses and industries cannot succeed.

Although the Clark Fork is a hard working river that bears the scars of a legacy of service – toxic mine waste, damaged stream banks, chronic de-watering, disconnected tributaries, and more – it’s decidedly a watershed on the upswing.

Since 1985 the Clark Fork Coalition has worked to restore and sustain the Clark Fork and its tributaries, ensuring it can flow with clean, cold, and abundant waters for generations to come. 

We apply scientific, technical, legal, and educational expertise to address the challenges faced by our rivers, as well as to advance the tremendous restoration opportunities now unfolding throughout the watershed.
