Objectives

  • Serve as a forum that established a strong link with local watershed groups needing assistance to help enhance, conserve, and protect natural resources and sustain the high quality of life in Montana for present and future generations.


  • Serve as a statewide coordination network for Montana's natural resource agencies and private organizations to share resources, identify and capitalize on opportunities for collaboration, and avoid duplication of effort. The Council will foster coordination, communication, and cooperation rather than set policy or usurp any organizations authority or responsibility.


  • Encourage local people to take a proactive, collaborative approach (ex. Coordinated Resource Management planning) that will address natural resource issues and concerns. Assistance to local planning groups will be provided upon request to help them achieve their goals.
