Spring is here and river season is just around the corner on the Flathead River system 🌊

This year is extra special as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Wild & Scenic designation of these incredible rivers. For five decades, this protection has helped keep the North, Middle, and South Forks wild, clean, and free-flowing and it’s up to all of us to carry that legacy forward.

We’ve got a full lineup of spring events to get you ready for the season:
✔️ Glacier Conversations
✔️ Rivers Rundown Speaker Series
✔️ River Ambassador & Citizen Scientist Trainings
✔️ River Safety Fair
✔️ Earth Day River Access Cleanup
And so much more!!!

Whether you want to learn, volunteer, or simply connect with others who love these rivers, there’s something for everyone.
