Greetings!
We hope you and your family are doing well.

Through this new and different time, the Bitter Root Water Forum is continuing to adapt our projects and programs to get work done for our river.

From our home offices, we are focusing on several restoration projects, connecting the community to environmental education, and building community around the river, while remaining distanced.
Our Restoration Coordinator, Andrea, has been getting out on the ground to scope out prospective project sites. Here she is checking out a potential site along one of our priority tributaries.
This is the groundwork stage, where walks and talks start turning into restoration projects!
On the education front, we want to make sure our communities' youth are still able to have access to environmental education, as the Earth Stewardship Program lessons are put on hold. Our AmeriCorps Member, Grace, has put together daily posts on our Facebook page , including a nature scavenger hunt, and is collaborating with local educators to continue reaching youth even if we can’t get into classrooms.
We are also looking forward to Bitterroot Gives, April 30-May1. The 26-hour online giving event is a wonderful way to support local organizations, and give to groups making a positive impact in our community. More to come on that soon!
Take care,
Heather Barber
Executive Director

Bitterroot/Missoula Gives: April 30th - May 1st
