Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Upper missouri waterkeeper protects fishable, swimmable, drinkable water throughout the 25,000 square miles of montana's upper missouri river basin of montana. To accomplish this mission we actively engage with citizens, stakeholders and decisionmakers, utilize water-quality monitoring and best-available science and, when necessary to protect waterways and communities, insist on compliance with the law. We believe healthy, clean waterways go hand-in-hand with strong communities and therefore focus both on stopping pollution and on sustainable, long-term solutions to issues threatening southwest and west-central montana.
Programs: Upper missouri waterkeeper is exclusively focused on protecting and improving waterways and community health throughout the 25,000 sq miles of montanas upper missouri river basin. Using a combination of strong science, community action, and legal expertise, upper missouri waterkeeper defends the river, its tributaries, and communities against threats to clean water and healthy rivers to ensure we all can continue to enjoy clean, healthy fishable and drinkable water now and into the future. The non-profit works with communities and citizens to take a strong stance on the hard issues to defend our waterways and communities from projects that would do harm, and to fight for and secure new regulations and protections that will provide critical defense and progress in the future.
waterkeepers advocacy program reviews administrative government agency actions and actions by local decisionmakers that affect waterway health. Our outreach and education program, combined with our science program, uses science and the law to fashion education and engagement opportunities for citizens to stand up for their right to clean, fishable, swimmable, drinkable water.
