The Western Montana Conservation Commission plays a crucial role in coordinating and collaborating with organizations across western Montana. We support and strengthen partner programs’ efforts to protect the region’s water quality through financial assistance, education and outreach, staffing support, and more.
The WMCC encourages close cooperation and coordination between federal, state, provincial, tribal, and local resource managers for the establishment of compatible resource development standards, comprehensive monitoring, and data collection and interpretation. We coordinate with local leaders, organizations, and industry within the region on key natural resource issues to increase support and leadership for advancing water quality protections. Additionally, we provide complementary support to partner programs and projects while emphasizing appreciation and recognition of exemplary efforts across western Montana. By addressing issues and existing gaps and ensuring regular communication with decision-makers and local partners, we strive for behavioral changes in our communities to protect western Montana’s waters.
