Big Hole Watershed Committee

Established in 1995 to address resource and community concerns in the Big Hole Watershed, the Big Hole Watershed Committee is composed of 22 governing members who represent diverse interests including: ranching, utilities, local government, sportsmen, conservationists, tourism, and outfitters.  In addition to the official members; local, state, and federal agencies participate as technical advisors.

The BHWC is a consensus driven, multi-stakeholder entity that works closely with other conservation organizations, local, state and federal agencies on watershed restoration and management plans.
