Gallatin River Task Force

Protecting the Gallatin River for Future Generations

The Gallatin River, a renowned hub for recreation and natural beauty, has captured the hearts of many. Featured in Robert Redford’s iconic film, A River Runs Through It, the river is not just a picturesque backdrop; it is a vital resource that faces increasing environmental threats. Since the film's release, local citizens have raised concerns about water quality, supply, and wastewater management. In response, the Gallatin River Task Force was established in 2000, dedicated to preserving the river's health for generations to come.
