Smith River Protection
What can I do to help save the Smith?
While we await the final decision by the Montana Supreme Court, regardless of the outcome we will remain staunch defenders and watchdogs of the Smith. Additionally, we are working with Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks on identifying restoration opportunities to improve water quality and quantity for the future.
MTU continues to incur significant costs in our fight to defend the Smith. Please visit our donation page to make a contribution today.
