TU's Big Blackfoot Chapter: All Business

“They don’t have guest speakers at their meetings, they don’t host fishing trips, and they won’t teach you how to tie flies. They are all about getting stuff done on the ground. This field season alone they are completing 8 miles of major channel work on 3 streams, installing 4 fish screens at irrigation draws, implementing 5 grazing management plans, replacing 3 culverts with bridges, and planting thousands of willows… not to mention a handful of smaller projects and routine maintenance at projects from previous summers.” Luca Adelphio talks about the challenges of conserving Montana’s Big Blackfoot and how they are met by the folks working behind the scenes.
